Abstract
The intersection of neuroscience and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is an approach to resolving conflicts by integrating insights into human brain functioning. This paper explores how neuroscience can enhance ADR techniques, providing a deeper understanding of the psychological aspects of conflict and how these insights can be applied within the Indian legal context to improve outcomes and address the unique challenges of the Indian societal framework. By focusing on neuroscience's potential to shape ADR processes, the aim of this paper is to propose a more empathetic and effective system that addresses the roots of conflict rather than merely the symptoms.
