Article by Charles Thensted

Many scholars and practitioners take for granted that the adversary system is hopelessly inadequate to meet the demands of modern dispute resolution. It is a worthwhile endeavor, however, to step back from the rush to alternatives, to assess the state of civil litigation, and to reconsider an approach to dispute resolution within the system that has been available but neglected by lawyers and judges alike.
