This court used a similar approach when Minn. Gen. R. Prac. 114, governing ADR in civil matters, was adopted. The ADR Review Board is currently scheduled to disband on December 31, 1996.

The committee believes the experience gained by the ADR Review Board under the existing rules will be valuable in minimizing any problems that might otherwise be encountered in the implementation of the recommendations contained in this report.
