Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) is a significant change in how justice is delivered. It uses the most up-to-date digital tools. To address long-standing issues with access, efficiency, and fairness. This paper examines the future of ODR from a theoretical perspective, exploring its core concepts, the impact of technology, its effects on the system as a whole, ethical considerations, and its potential worldwide. In Section 1, we place ODR within the context of procedural justice theory and explore ideas on how to transform digital technology. Its theoretical foundations, technological effects, systemic effects, ethical issues, and Online Dispute Resolution (ODR). The test focuses on the notion of procedural justice and the emergence of digital technology. This section examines its theoretical foundations and the technology that underpins it. Global Potential, Systemic Effects, and Ethical Issues The text talks about online dispute resolution (ODR) and the themes in Section 1: "This part looks at procedural justice theory and digital transformation models, focusing on their main ideas, which are different from traditional ADR. These ideas include accessibility, efficiency, neutrality, and transparency." Section 2 examines how Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Block chain, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Virtual/Augmented Reality (VR/AR) can enhance the resolution of disputes more effectively. Section 3 explains what Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) is. This represents a significant shift from traditional, state-based adjudication to a more decentralized and democratic way of acquiring there to providing justice. We discuss other theoretical issues that arise with ODR in Section 4. These include algorithmic bias, digital divisions, data privacy, enforceability, and keeping human agency. We recommend frameworks that prioritize fairness and methods that focus on the user at the forefront. Section 5 discusses the global growth of ODR. This part of the study examines how ODR operates across borders, how international standards are made more consistent, and how ODR will impact society in the long term. We believe that ODR, which is based on procedural legitimacy and driven by digital innovation, has the potential to change how people access justice and make it more democratic. We want to emphasize the importance of having ethical frameworks, good governance, and ongoing scholarly research.
