How do I select an arbitrator?

The process of selecting an arbitrator in Florida for an arbitration hearing is important, and involves several steps. First, both parties must agree on who the arbitrator should be. If both parties agree to the selection, then they may use an independent organization, such as the American Arbitration Association, to choose the arbitrator. Alternately, both parties may agree to mutually select the arbitrator from a list provided by a court or state agency. Additionally, both parties may be able to agree on a single arbitrator from a pool of arbitrators to choose from. In the event the parties are unable to agree on a single arbitrator, a process called binding nomination may be used. In this case, each party will submit three potential arbitrators to a court or state agency for consideration. The court or agency will then consider the choices and select one arbitrator from the list submitted by the parties. Finally, it is important to consider that the arbitrator selected should be impartial and have experience in the subject matter at dispute. Additionally, the arbitrator should have the ability to make sound decisions and interpret the laws applicable to the dispute.
