Discuss the roles of ADR in present-day Australia, and the important skills for legal professionals to respond to the institutionalisation of ADR processes prior to and alongside court proceedings. In your essay, you should analyse the following aspects:

the role of ADR;

institutionalisation of ADR processes in Australia and its wider application;

important skills needed in ADR, for example, 'client-facing skills', summarising, capacity to diagnose disputes and to advise on appropriate processes for resolution, and how these skills may be developed and how they may relate to other important skills for the legal professionals in the 21st century;

how the legal profession should respond to the development of ADR and the changing society.

You may also discuss other challenges and opportunities, as well as important skills relating ADR processes. It is, however, important that your essay is research-based, and consistent and coherent in argumentation.
