These rules apply to all civil and domestic relations cases filed in trial courts in Indiana. They cover several ADR processes, including mediation, arbitration, mini-trials, summary jury trials, and private judges. These processes may all be ordered by the judge, with the exception of binding arbitration and summary jury trial, which require the agreement of the parties. All the processes are to be provided for-fee. The rules include immunity of and discipline for ADR providers approved by the court. They also allow for and encourage the use of mediation for disputes not in litigation.
