RULE 17-601. DEFINITIONS; APPLICABILITY
Committee note: Rule 17-102 (a) and (d) include within the definition of “ADR” arbitration and neutral fact-finding. The Committee believes that it is inappropriate for the court to order parties to resort to those forms of ADR, especially if the results of such a referral are intended to be binding. Such a referral may constitute an improper delegation of the statutory duties and responsibilities of the orphans' courts and registers of wills with respect to the administration of estates. Accordingly, ADR referrals are limited to mediation and settlement-conferencing.
