CHECKLIST FOR COURTS &  ADR PROGRAMS

Is Your ADR Tech
Working for You?

Evaluate the tools and workflows your program relies on for intake, scheduling, communication, case tracking, and reporting.

A Simple Way to Spot Technology Gaps

Your program may already have tools in place. But disconnected systems, manual steps,
and inconsistent workflows can make it harder to manage cases, communicate clearly, and report on outcomes.

Use the checklist to review everyday workflows, spot where manual steps may be creating extra work, and identify where better technology could make the biggest difference.

What the Checklist Helps You Evaluate

Intake & Case Setup

Review how requests, referrals, parties, case details, and documents are captured at the start of each matter.

Scheduling & Communication

Look at how staff, neutrals, participants, and stakeholders stay aligned throughout the process.

Case Tracking

Evaluate whether your team can quickly see case status, next steps, deadlines, and outstanding tasks.

Reporting & Outcomes

Assess how easily your program can track activity, outcomes, timelines, and data needed for leadership or funders.

Payments & Administrative Tasks

Identify manual steps that slow your team down or create unnecessary follow-up work.

Technology Fit

Consider whether your current tools support the way your program actually operates today.

From Checklist to Next Steps

Reviewing your current workflows can help clarify what is working well and where manual steps, disconnected tools, or reporting gaps may be creating extra work.

Use the insights to prioritize the steps that matter most for your program, your staff, and the people you serve.
