Membership
Five Kinds of Membership
A professional register, not a mailing list. Every tier carries defined eligibility, so membership means something when a client checks it.
| Membership | Eligibility | Entry |
|---|---|---|
| Special HonoraryBeyond stars | Conferred for exceptional contribution to ADR, or as an honour to a dignitary | Cannot be claimed — it is earned |
| Fellow★★★★★ | Senior practitioners and experts in their field | By nomination or application, reviewed by the Advisory Council |
| Associate★★★★ | Completed any of our Professional Training & Certification Courses, or equivalent experience | Free, after completion of a Training Programme under Adjudix, or on payment of a membership fee subject to review by the Advisory Council |
| Affiliate★★★ | Open to early-career professionals | Free, after completing an Apprenticeship or Internship, or on payment of a membership fee subject to review by the Advisory Council |
| Student★★ | Students of law, CA/CS, commerce, or engineering | Free for students |
Not sure which tier fits?
If you're a student, start with Student membership — it's free. Early-career professionals who have completed an Apprenticeship or Internship qualify for Affiliate. If you've completed a Training Programme, you likely qualify for Associate. Senior practitioners with an established record should look at Fellow.
