This article aims to study the alternative dispute resolution during the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective is to ascertain if the increase in the use of alternative dispute resolution – due to the burden imposed on the Judiciary by the increase in the number of cases – may contribute to a change in the legal paradigm of dispute resolution in Brazil, overcoming the traditional adversarial model and fostering consensus as the foundation of a culture of effective social pacification. The research problem is: can the crisis resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic accelerate the pace of a paradigm change in the Brazilian dispute resolution model? The method of approach adopted is the deductive, and the method of procedure used is the monographic. The hypothesis answers the research problem in the affirmative way. The conclusion is that the crisis resulting from the increase in the number of litigations and judicial delays generates an increasing use of alternative dispute resolution and, as a result, may contribute to a transformation in the legal paradigm of conflict management.
