Question

discuss the three methods for choosing an arbitrator.

Answer 1

Three methods of choosing arbitrators are as follows:

1. Contacting local bar association in which they maintain the list of arbitrators who will be either retired judges, or senior lawyers having expertise in arbitration proceedings.

2. Contacting the state and district courts in which many private arbitrators enrol by following certain guidelines. Some also have provisions for alternate disputes resolution committees.

3. Seeking help from government organisations also works as they have contacts of arbitrators as parties those who do not want legal actions as they delay, prefer arbitration method.

4. General internet search also provides arbitrators list, or who gave judgements which were not only influential but also provided satisfactory judgement. There are specific websites which provides contact details about the arbitrators.
