Keep me logged in until I sign out. Hearings are conducted by arbitrators rather than by judges and are not limited by strict rules of evidence.
Arbitrators have the authority to hear witnesses out of order.
Their decision is usually final and unappealable. To obtain an arbitration the law requires both parties to agree to the arbitration process beforehand in writing to prevent claims of unfairness by the losing side. Substantial savings can be achieved through arbitration. Time-consuming and expensive pretrial procedures, including depositions, interrogatories, and motions are usually eliminated. The arbitration hearing is held in a private conference room rather than a courtroom.
