Since its inception, CPR has conducted studies on alternative dispute resolution.  Indeed, CPR was a leader in completing some of the first studies on divorce mediation.  Early work by CPR encouraged many courts around the nation to develop mediation services as a alternative to litigation in family disputes.  CPR continues to conduct research on mediation in child access disputes, child support disputes, and in child protection cases.
