Arbitration/Mediation - Arbitration


Expert: Paul D. Friedman, M.A., Ph.D., J.D. - 9/17/2006

Question
What rules are used in arbitrations?  In other words, are they the same rules as trial?  What are the differences between arbitrations and trials?

Answer
Pete,

The rules utilized in an arbitration are contracted or mandated by the Court procedure.  If it is a Court-Ordered arbitration, the Court rules mandate the procedures.  If it is a private arbitration, the parties agree or the contract provides for the rules.  Generally the rules of evidence for an arbitration or more relaxed than a court proceeding.  Also, an arbitrator may not have subpoena power or the power to compel testimony or an appearance.

I hope this responds to your questions.

Very truly yours,

Paul D. Friedman, M.A., Ph.D., J.D.
