Q: How do I know that I will receive a fair hearing at the FORUM and that the arbitrator I choose will be impartial?
A: The FORUM is committed to the integrity of the legal process, and our arbitrations subscribe to all legal and ethical standards. For example, FORUM arbitrators agree to follow the FORUM’s Code of Conduct for Arbitrators, whose five canons ensure both an impartial review of the facts as well as a decision based on applicable rules and laws. The Code of Conduct for Arbitrators requires arbitrators to thoroughly examine and disclose any possible conflict of interest prior to accepting a case. The FORUM’s arbitration rules provide that in every case parties have the right to reject any arbitrator who they think has a bias or an improper interest in the case.
