ADR clause for learning team charter

My ideal ADR clause will be based on four steps. 1- Preamble

2- Negotiation

3- Mediation

4- Arbitration

Preamble

The first step is the introduction of the problem or issue. We can call it the explanatory

statement. The problem has to be stated and signed in a word document, APA format and signed

by the entire team members. However before reaching to this point, rules have to be followed.

1- The problem shall deal with the course only and shall only involve plagiarism,

cheating and false accusation toward a team or any team members. No personnel

or other course issues shall be accepted.

2- Every team member has to vote based on yes or no. The approval will be

based on the majority. One person chosen by the team members has to write the

statement and give it to everyone to sign it.

Negotiation

Any negotiation shall be debated in presence of both teams. An every team shall have

one representative who can defend his or her own team.

Mediation

The mediation step shall be executed if no agreement was reached from the

previous step. In this case, the mediation team shall intervene between both teams. The

mediation team has to be neutral. The final decision shall be based on a final mediation team

members vote result. But only after each team representative had spoken and agreed to finalize

and enclose their defensive arguments. Any final verdict should be respected and accepted with

its consequences. Arbitration

The arbitration step should be executed only if the verdict was not respected and

accepted with its consequences. In this point, the mediation team shall request their teacher

to execute and makes sure that verdict will be respected.
