How does adr compare to civil litigation?

Civil litigation means legal action between two parties - neither of which is a government charging a crime. In other words, I sue a company or a person sues me for an action. ADR means dozens of things (American Depository Receipts, and many more). Assuming you mean Alternative Dispute Resolution this is a non-court-based way to resolve civil disputes without litigation in court. An arbiter is chosen and both sides agree to abide by the arbiter's decision.

What party defends against a complaint?

In civil law, the party who is served with the papers beginning the civil action, and is defending the lawsuit is called the "defendant"; the party who brings the lawsuit is called the "plaintiff". In the strictest sense, the person in a criminal 'lawsuit' not a civil proceeding, is called a "defendant". The party, in the criminal action, who brings the lawsuit, a criminal proceeding, is called the "State". The representative for the criminal action against the is a Prosecutor. Please see the discussion page for further notions about using the word "defendant" instead of the label "accused" in a criminal proceeding.
