Formed in 1986, the Forum is a nationwide network of retired judges, litigators, and law professors who share the Forum principle that legal decisions should be decided according to established legal principles. All arbitration is not the same. To meet Forum standards, each arbitrator has more than 15 years legal experience and has arbitrated commercial, financial, and business disputes. Each is qualified under local rules in their community and jurisdiction. Forum arbitrators are located in the federal judicial district of every state in the nation.
Service is truly nationwide, no matter where the dispute arises.
