Oh that’s a new abbreviation since I was on here in 2017. ADR is most popularly “Alternative Dispute Resolution”, which is the name of a very stressful meeting where you may have a chance to win an appeal without going to full hearing. Anybody who has been through an appeal process will be confused if you apply the term ADR for anything else.
