Subject line
I get spam, and spam gets filtered out. Be sure to place
the word 'arbitration' in the subject line! - it will get to my in-
box. Hiring the arbitrator
Speed things up! Please
review the information that I require on the page about hiring the arbitrator.
Conflicts of interest
Contacting me is not the same as hiring me. Before an
arbitrator can be hired, whether for private or court annexed arbitration,
the arbitrator and the parties need to know whether the arbitrator has
any relationships which could constitute conflicts of interest, or which
might require disclosure under codes of arbitrator conduct so as to avoid
the appearance of lack of neutrality. So, in your e-mail, let me know:
Who are the parties?
Who will be directly affected by the outcome?
Who are the main witnesses for each side?
Do not tell me the specifics of the dispute until
I have determined whether I have any conflicts of interest. Inquiring
whether I am available as an arbitrator is not a means to disqualify
me from continuing to represent my existing clients.

may change.
