Georgia Office Of Dispute Resolution

The Georgia Office of Dispute Resolution (GODR) is the administrative office of the Georgia Supreme Court Commission on Dispute Resolution (CODR). The mission of CODR is to help the Georgia Supreme Court fulfill its Constitutional mandate to “provide for the speedy, efficient, and inexpensive resolution of disputes and prosecutions” in the judiciary. The Commission does this by managing a statewide system that offers true and effective alternatives to traditional litigation. Those alternatives – mediation, non-binding arbitration, and case evaluation – give Georgia litigants lower-cost choices for resolving their differences, and they help save scarce court resources for those cases that cannot be resolved without judge or jury.
