Frank Sander

Frank Sander was a legal scholar known for pioneering the concept of multi-door courthouse models. This approach involves sorting dispute cases into different paths or “doors” based on their complexity and nature, allowing parties to access the most appropriate resolution process—such as negotiation, mediation, or traditional trial. His work aimed to make the justice system more efficient, fair, and accessible by tailoring dispute resolution methods to each case. Sander’s innovative ideas have significantly influenced alternative dispute resolution practices and the modernization of judicial processes.
