Description: 

Originally from Dispute Resolution Journal

Probably the most vital aspect of an arbitration— aside from the procedure itself—is the selection of the neutral by the parties. The implication for ADR administering organizations is clear: Organizations such as the AAA bear a great responsibility in recruiting highly qualified arbitrators from diverse backgrounds. William Barrett takes an exhaustive look at the characteristics of the ideal roster of neutrals and also considers the role of the AAA in assembling, training and maintaining such a panel.
