<p>There  has  been  a  recent  increase  in  emphasis  by  the  Federal  Government  on  using  alternative  dispute  resolution  methods  to  resolve  contract  disputes.  These  methods  are  normally  less  expensive,  faster,  less  intimidating  and  more  responsive  to  the  underlying  problems  of  the  dispute.  Alternative  dispute  resolution  is  not  effective  for  all  disputes.  Situations  in  which  alternative  dispute  resolutions  would  be  effective  are  identified.  Additionally,  the  characteristics  and  advantages  of  alternative  dispute  resolution  are  discussed.  The  current  legislation  concerning  the  Government's  usage  of  alternative  dispute  resolution  is  the  Administrative  Dispute  Resolution  Act  of  1990.  The  specific  components  of  the  Act  are  reviewed.  The  conventional  dispute  resolution  process,  and  its  disadvantages,  are  presented  for  comparison  purposes.
