Abstract

This article analyzes the implementation and effectiveness of Alternative Dispute Resolution Methods (ADRs) in the context of the reform of the civil justice system in Panama. Using a descriptive, projective, and quantitative approach, the study evaluates the impact of mediation and conciliation on reducing the court burden, focusing on the Judicial Branch's ADR Centers. The results indicate a significant impact in family cases, where mediation is mandatory, but reveal limitations in their application in other civil matters. It is recommended that ADRs be expanded, training for legal practitioners strengthened, and public awareness raised about the benefits of these methods.
