This program will begin with an overview of the

governing arbitration. The panel will explore the reasons for using
arbitration, the perceived risk of potential bias, the limited circumstances
under which arbitrators’ decisions make it to the appellate courts, and the
impact of arbitration, if any, on the development of the law. Finally,
the panel will react to the recent focus by the media, legislatures, and other
organizations on the use of arbitration.
