Abstract
The Lagos Multi-Door Courthouse (LMDC) scheme is currently incorporated into the justice system. Since it was enacted into law, its relevance has developed due to its unique way of linking cases to appropriate forums for appropriate settlements. Hence, considerable literature has grown around its establishment; one such piece was on the scheme’s effectiveness, which was carried out in 2012. In hindsight, the work will evaluate the philosophy behind the birth of the Lagos Multi-Door Courthouse (LMDC) in Nigeria and the underlying elements of the LMDC Law. What is the story so far? Has the courthouse contributed to or reduced the pitfalls associated with litigation in Lagos state? The work employs a socio-legal and comparative approach. It concludes on how effective the LMDC has been from its inception to date, the differences or contributions they have brought in terms of speedy dispensation of justice. Keywords: Alternative Dispute Resolution, Multi-Door Courthouse, Access to Justice, United States, United Kingdom; Nigeria.
