Do securities arbitration decisions become public records?

In Alaska, securities arbitration decisions do not become public record. Part of the reason for this is that the proceedings of securities arbitration related cases are typically confidential, and the information shared as part of a hearing would be considered privileged. This is to protect the parties involved by keeping the sensitive and personal information they provide private. Even if the decisions of a securities arbitration hearing were to become public, it would likely not be accessible by the general public; instead, only those directly involved in the case would be able to access the information. As part of the process for securities arbitration, the parties involved are required to sign an agreement that all information shared in the hearing will remain confidential. This means that the records of the arbitration hearing would not be released to the public. This agreement is designed to protect the parties’ rights and prevent sensitive information from being made public. Therefore, while securities arbitration decisions may be considered records, they do not become public records. These decisions are kept strictly confidential to protect the interests of all parties involved.
