COURT’S EXPECTATIONS OF ARBITRATORS
The Court’s Arbitration program provides parties and their representatives
an opportunity to resolve civil cases in an economic and expeditious manner.
Certified Arbitrators represent the Court in the administration of justice and
render an important service to the Court, litigants and public.
Arbitrators should conduct the proceedings in a manner which upholds and
maintains the integrity, fairness, and dignity of the federal civil justice system. They
should be patient, attentive, and courteous to the parties, their representatives and
witnesses and allow each party a full and fair opportunity to present their evidence
and arguments.
Those who participate in Arbitration are entitled to leave the proceeding
satisfied that they have been treated fairly and respectfully and that their positions
have been heard.
