Two decades after the foresighted corporate pioneers who founded The CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution first brought Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) into the legal lexicon, the use of mediation and a host of other conflict management tools have revolutionized the way we settle legal cases. This revolution has impacted upon the corporate community in terms defined by billions of dollars. And now the use of ADR by the world's most renowned practitioners is moving overseas, with global force. CPR Institute For Dispute Resolution is a pioneer and leader in the area of dispute resolution. In February 2004, CPR was ranked #1 in alternative dispute resolution performance among General Counsels and their Deputies. Founded in 1979 as the Center for Public Resources, CPR promotes excellence and innovation in public and private dispute resolution, and serves as a primary multinational resource for avoidance, management and resolution of business- related and other disputes. CPR's unparalleled wealth of intellectual property and published material in this area has educated and motivated America toward an increased reliance on negotiation rather than litigation. CPR's proprietary Panel of esteemed arbitrators and mediators has provided resolutions in thousands of cases, with billions of dollars at issue, worldwide.
