ABSTRACT
The Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) movement which represents a model of consensual dispute resolution, developed in the United States in the 1970s in the area of civil and political law. Its main feature is the presentation of a new systemic administrative approach that offers mechanisms alternative to those of the judicial process for the purpose of handling disputes and resolving them. The mapping of the main values of alternative justice demonstrates how, alongside the uniqueness and separateness of the ADR mechanisms such as the various models of the mediation process, collaborative law and ENE, they share a common identity and alternative language, composed, inter alia, of the same alternative justice values and theoretical roots that are at their basis. Additionally, this mapping illustrates how these alternative justice values provide an answer to the central narratives of criticism that developed in the 20 century in Western culture, with respect to the judicial process and the judicial justice that it produces.
