The advantage of using a retired judge or experienced attorney for legal arbitration is the ability to arrive at a resolution in a timely manner. It is typically less costly, compared with a judge or jury trial and exclusionary rules don’t apply. Because it is not a public hearing, there is no public record of the proceeding which may be important in many instances. An arbitration proceeding may be less adversarial and can help to maintain business and professional relationships. Hearings under this form of ADR are more typically presentation-type hearings and not burdened with numerous experts or exhibits.
It is critical that an arbitrator be not only experienced in the pertinent areas of law, but also within the industry or practice area included in the arbitration. It would not be productive to have an arbitrator experienced in commercial work handle a complex mass torts pharmaceutical case. Nor should someone with experience in insurance coverage handle an antitrust matter. Use the same due diligence you would employ in the selection of an arbitrator or other ADR professional that you would to retain an expert witness.
