Alternative Dispute Resolution is a mechanism by which different types of legal disputes are resolved through out-of-court processes like arbitration, and mediation as an alternative to civil litigation. ADR methods can be effective in reducing the time, money, and adversarial nature associated with traditional court-based proceedings.
Colebrook is a town in Litchfield County, Connecticut, United States. The population was 1,471 at the 2000 census. Colebrook was named after Colebrooke, in the English county of Devon. Early in Colebrook's history, an explorer from the county of Devon landed in Connecticut. It is believed throughout the town that he hid a small chest in Colebrook's local pond. Supposedly, it contains jewelry from Egyptian Monarchs shortly after the Revolutionary War. This is untrue. The pond is man-made and only contains snakes, weeds, and leeches.
