Abstract
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) has gained significant traction globally as a preferred method for resolving conflicts outside traditional litigation processes. In Uganda, the legal community has embraced ADR due to its potential benefits in expediting conflict resolution and reducing costs. This study delves into the efficacy of ADR in the Ugandan context, employing a documentary research approach to analyze various sources including legal texts, journals, and essays. It explores the historical background of ADR, its conceptual framework, and its integration into the Ugandan legal system. The study highlights the success of ADR initiatives, such as mandatory mediation in commercial courts, and proposes recommendations for further enhancing its utilization. These recommendations include empowering corporate directors to handle employee disputes through ADR, expanding mediation to include personal injury claims, and making ADR a prerequisite for litigation in civil cases. The findings underscore the potential of ADR to alleviate case backlogs, improve access to justice, and foster a fairer and more efficient legal system in Uganda.
