Abstract
In this article, the author considers alternative ways to resolve disputes, that is, the use of conciliation procedures to resolve conflict situations in civil proceedings. The traditional way of resolving disputes has been and remains the judicial procedure, which is enshrined in the legislation of most states and is a guarantee of respect for human and civil rights. But the author considers conciliation procedures for resolving a dispute in a civil process by concluding a settlement agreement. Also, special attention is paid to resolving the dispute through mediation. The previously existing types of alternative dispute resolution procedures have been supplemented by participatory procedure and judicial mediation.
