Overview

The Jackson ADR Handbook was created following recommendations by Lord Justice Jackson that an authoritative handbook for Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) should be prepared. The first edition laid a strong foundation as an essential guide to ADR and received judicial endorsement in the Court of Appeal and the Technology and Construction Court. With the benefit of a few years hindsight on the implementation of the Jackson reforms, this new edition builds on the success of the first edition to provide an updated guide to all aspects of ADR. With a strong focus on practical guidance, this second edition maintains the concise and user-friendly format of the first. It includes an in-depth overview of the different options and principles of ADR, as well as sections on: the interplay between ADR, CPR, and litigation; negotiation; mediation; recording and enforcing settlement; and other alternative dispute resolution options, as well as giving a summary of the international perspective. Additional materials such as mediation providers, specimen documents, precedents, and practice tips are available on a companion website.

Reviews

Review from previous edition It is properly authoritative. It is readily accessible. I cannot commend it more highly... This book deserves to be the first and only port of call for every student of ADR irrespective of whether they are a litigant, a law student, a lawyer or a judge. I am sure that it will be. Lord Dyson, Master of the Rolls, from the First Edition Foreword I congratulate the authors and editors on this excellent handbook. This is exactly what I envisaged when drafting chapter 36 of the Review of Civil Litigation Costs Final Report. The Right Honourable Sir Rupert Jackson The importance of this handbook to the integration of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) within our civil justice system cannot be overstated ... no other ADR text has received such high profile endorsement - by Lord Justice Jackson, the Judicial College, the Civil Justice Council and the Civil Mediation Council. Ian Gatt QC and Anita Phillips, Counsel ... it is a superb summary and practical resource covering all the core principles, competencies, and legal frameworks surrounding the practice of ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution), and particularly mediation, in the UK today. Mike Lind, TEDR

A first-class and fundamental practitioner publication ... Now, with the benefit of a few years' hindsight on the implementation of 'the Jackson reforms' which are rightly seen as wholly constructive procedural necessities, this new edition 'builds on the success of the first edition to provide an updated guide to all aspects of ADR'. Phillip Taylor and Elizabeth Taylor, Richmond Green Chambers.
