How do I submit evidence in an arbitration hearing?

Submitting evidence in an arbitration hearing is a key part of the arbitration process. In South Carolina, the specific procedures for submitting evidence are kept similar to those in a court of law. The most common way to submit evidence is through written documents, photographs, videos, or other tangible objects. First, the documents and evidence must be identified and made a part of the record. This is done by describing the evidence (what it is, who found it, and the date it was found) and then giving copies of the documents to the arbitrator and other parties involved. If the evidence is not in a tangible form or is an eyewitness account of an event, then it must be presented verbally in the hearing. The witness must be sworn in before giving their testimony and the testimony must be reduced to writing and made a part of the record. Whether the evidence is submitted in writing or verbally, all parties are allowed to cross-examine and question the evidence before it is made a part of the record. It is important to remember that any evidence submitted must be relevant and directly related to the case. All evidence must also be admissible or else it will be rejected by the arbitrator. By following these steps, parties involved in an arbitration hearing can insure that their evidence is properly submitted and recorded.
