[The staff members of the Department of Negotiation and Mediation conduct research on ADR, i.e. an area of legal science which includes amicable dispute resolution methods. Due to the specificity of the field, research carried out is of a multidisciplinary nature, going beyond the traditional classification of research areas. On the one hand, ADR covers analysis of legal regulations classified into various branches of law – civil law, labour law, criminal/penal law, family law or administrative law. On the other hand, ADR also embraces the issue of legal handling of disputes and amicable methods of solving them.]
