What we offer

Educational Resources

The first thing that people think about when it comes to the law is seeking out a lawyer or paralegal, and using the legal system. For many this can be overwhelming experience. However, there are alternatives to dispute resolution that people can use before they seek a legal professional or even consider using the legal system.


Courses for Legal Professionals

“There are some things they do not teach you in school” as the old saying goes. This is very true. There is much that many people learn after and outside of school through experience that one would not otherwise learn in college or university itself. As such, ADR Centre offers courses that provide supplimentary eduation that proves to give legal professionals and law students the edge by providing the valuable knowledge from experienced veteran lawyers, judges, and legal advisors that one may not get anywhere else.


Certification

At the end of each course, upon successfully completing an exam or quiz, participants will receive a signed certificate acknowledging their accomplishment related to their assessed course.
