How do I select an arbitrator?

In South Dakota, when selecting an arbitrator, there are a few things to consider. First, make sure the chosen person is qualified and is impartial in hearing both sides of the dispute. It also helps to consider the subject matter of the dispute in order to choose an arbitrator who is knowledgeable and experienced in the related legal issues. Another important factor to consider is the cost of the arbitration procedure; the costs associated with the arbitrator’s services should be reasonable. Also, ensure that the chosen arbitrator has the availability to conduct the hearing within a reasonable time period. Your choice should also be based on the suggested process set by the South Dakota Arbitration Law. If it is an agreed process between the parties, make sure that the chosen arbitrator is familiar with the process that has been suggested. It is also important to ask the arbitrator for references from past clients as well as any documentation needed to build trust and confidence in the chosen arbitrator. Finally, make sure that the parties are comfortable with the selected arbitrator.
