OTHER EXPERIENCE Minnesota Supreme Court, Minneapolis, MN Certified Neutral State of Minnesota, Feb 2015 – Present Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) processes are alternative methods of helping people resolve legal problems before going to court. ADR involves an independent third person, called a "neutral" who tries to help resolve or narrow the areas of conflict. ADR early in a case can result in the more efficient, cost-effective resolution of disputes with greater satisfaction to the parties. A great majority of the civil cases, including marital dissolutions (divorces), filed in Minnesota state courts are settled by using ADR. Minnesota courts recognize the effectiveness of ADR as a tool for settling disputes.
