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.
Plush is an unincorporated rural community in the Warner Valley of Lake County, Oregon, United States. The one notable attraction in the area is a hot spring located on the Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge. Hart Mountain hosts many protected big game animals including the pronghorn antelope and big horn sheep. Plush is home to a large Oregon sunstone gemfield. Sunstone is the Oregon state gemstone. The sunstone found in Plush is different from other sunstones found elsewhere in the world because of the copper content found in the mineral.
