"The Community Dispute Resolution Centers Program represents the Unified Court System's commitment to provide citizens with opportunities to develop their own solutions to the issues that might otherwise bring them to court." - Honorable Ann Pfau, Chief Administrative Judge

The Unified Court System partners with local non-profit organizations which provide mediation, arbitration, group facilitation and other dispute resolution options as an alternative to court. These services are available in all 62 New York Counties.
