Question Where can I find the procedure for federal arbitration procedure?
Thanks.
Answer Thank you for your question!
Unlike litigation conducted in Federal Courts, arbitration is very industry and location specific in how it is conducted and how it is administered. Federal venues have all developed unique and very difference conventions and processes that they use in their specific situations. Therefore, an arbitration between parties at the Postal Service is a completely different process than a military arbitration or procurement or contracting arbitration.
Hence, there isn't really a proscribed "procedure" that applies to all Federal processes.
Arbitration has a simple general approach that involves each side presenting their view of the dispute, and then some opening for less formal discussion and for the arbiter to ask questions and review evidence or documents, followed by a ruling.
