ADR
Settlement without court
ADR stands for alternative dispute resolution, encompassing methods like arbitration and mediation that resolve legal disputes without going to trial: The contract requires ADR before any lawsuit can be filed.
In entertainment, ADR means automated dialogue replacement (also called "looping")—the process of re-recording an actor's lines in a studio to replace unusable location audio.
In finance, ADR refers to American depositary receipts, certificates representing shares in foreign companies traded on U.S. exchanges: She bought ADRs in several European firms.
