Abstract

The present research article addresses "The Incidence of Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanisms (ADR) in the Justice System in Ecuador", due to the growing need to speed up and free the judicial system, ADR is presented as an essential instrument for the peaceful and effective resolution of disputes. To achieve this, a study is carried out that, at first, establishes the regulatory and institutional framework of ADR in Ecuador, establishing the legal and structural foundations that guide it; the following objective is to conduct an analysis of the decisions in family cases in the Family Judicial Units, which will facilitate the identification of the implementation and current results of conflict resolution procedures in a sensitive and frequent sector; ultimately, the research will focus on exposing the effectiveness of alternative dispute resolution methods in family trials in the Family Judicial Units, analyzing how these procedures favor a faster and fairer resolution of these situations. This study, through an approach that includes normative analysis and empirical data collection, aims to provide a detailed understanding of the effect of ADR in the Ecuadorian scenario, demonstrating its capacity to increase the efficiency and accessibility of justice. The findings will facilitate the formulation of suggestions for the strengthening and promotion of these procedures, thus contributing to a more efficient justice system that is better adjusted to the demands of society
