Like judges, arbitrators are neutral and impartial decision makers. The arbitrator may grant any remedy of relief that the parties could have received in court.

There is no jury. And appellate review of an arbitration Award is more limited than in court. Scope.

Like judges, arbitrators are neutral and impartial decision makers. The arbitrator may grant any remedy of relief that the parties could have received in court.

There is no jury. And appellate review of an arbitration Award is more limited than in court. Scope.
