The International Academy of Dispute Resolution (INADR) was founded in 2002 and is
based out of Des Moines, USA, to further the awareness of mediation as a means of
establishing peaceful resolution. Its mission is to encourage society to resolve
differences and disputes in a more sensitive and compassionate manner, and to
promote peace and civility in human behavior. As the Academy has grown, it has
become the umbrella organisation of three distinct student organisations- the
International ADR Society, the International Law School Mediation Tournament, and the
National Intercollegiate Mediation Tournament.
