The ADR process is not necessarily to avoid trial. I'll give you a concrete example. There's a group of parents whose school is next to a toxic dump, so the environmental situation for the kids is not safe. They want the toxic dump to be cleaned up or they want a new school. They go through ADR, and if it works, that means the dump is cleaned up or they get a new school so their kids don't have that toxic dump next to them. But if it doesn't work, and the parents decide they don't want to go to trial, they're stuck with that toxic dump. That's just an example.
