About Book

Redefining Justice: The Role of ADR in Contemporary Legal Systems by Dr. Abhishek Bishnoi offers a timely and vital exploration of how Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms are reshaping the concept of justice. This comprehensive guide examines the theoretical, legal, and practical dimensions of ADR—from mediation and arbitration to negotiation and online dispute resolution (ODR).

Drawing from a wide range of case studies, global best practices, and statutory developments, especially in the Indian context, the book discusses the necessity of accessible, affordable, and efficient justice systems. Each chapter is thoughtfully designed to bridge academic understanding with practical applications, making this book valuable for students, academics, legal professionals, and policymakers.

Whether you’re advocating reform or seeking a deeper understanding of non-litigious resolution mechanisms, Redefining Justice is your roadmap to a more equitable legal future.

Preface

The preface introduces Redefining Justice as a response to the growing inefficiencies in traditional litigation. As court systems struggle with backlog and complexity, ADR offers a collaborative, flexible, and accessible path to dispute resolution. The book presents ADR not just as a legal alternative, but as a reimagination of justice itself. Covering historical roots, contemporary frameworks, and emerging innovations like Online Dispute Resolution, the author aims to bridge theory with practice and inspire both legal professionals and reformists.

    Acknowledgement

    Dr. Abhishek Bishnoi expresses deep gratitude to his family—especially his wife Shivani, parents, and son—for their unwavering love and support. He extends heartfelt thanks to mentors, including Maj Gen Rajinder Kumar and Prof. (Dr.) S.P.S. Shekhawat, for their guidance and influence. Appreciation is also offered to colleagues and students at Amity Law School, and to the book reviewers for their valuable input. This book is dedicated to all who believe in the transformative power of ADR and justice reform.
