As with other forms of ADR, the Covid-19 circumstance has compelled arbitrators to re-format arbitration for the on-line environment. This panel discussion presents the perspectives of two well-known arbitrators on issues of how to manage an on-line arbitration to avoid potential problems, comply with the requirements being imposed by arbitration organizations such as AAA, and provide the parties with a seamless experience that closely adheres to an in-person hearing. A facilitator will provide questions to the panelists. At the conclusion of this discussion, participants will understand ways to ensure testimonial integrity for the witnesses, maintain the dignity of the proceeding and how to avoid common problems that can occur to derail the experience. In addition, participants will gain an understanding of the Supreme Court’s recent Administrative Order affecting dispute resolution proceedings and its impact on arbitration on-line and the major arbitration organizations’ responses to moving into the virtual world to hold proceedings.
