How do I select an arbitrator?

The selection of an arbitrator is an important part of the arbitration process in Kansas. The selection of an arbitrator is typically negotiated or agreed upon by both parties prior to the arbitration process. Here are some considerations when selecting an arbitrator: 1. Expertise: The arbitrator should have knowledge or experience that makes them qualified to hear the dispute and make a decision. 2. Neutrality: The arbitrator should be unaffiliated with either party, so that they can provide an impartial decision. 3. Availability: The arbitrator should be able to commit to the arbitration process in a timely manner. 4. Cost: The arbitration fees should be reasonable and should be agreed upon by both parties. Once both parties have made a selection, the arbitrator will review all relevant documents and materials and will meet with the parties to hear their oral presentations. The arbitrator will then make a final decision in the case. If both parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, they may use a dispute resolution organization, such as the American Arbitration Association or an organization affiliated with the Kansas Bar Association, to provide a list of available arbitrators. From the list, each party can choose an arbitrator they deem to be suitable for the dispute.
