Requesting an Arbitrator Clause Samples
The "Requesting an Arbitrator" clause outlines the process by which parties to a contract can formally initiate arbitration by selecting or appointing an arbitrator. Typically, this clause specifies the steps each party must take to request arbitration, such as providing written notice to the other party and following any agreed-upon procedures for choosing a neutral arbitrator, which may involve a third-party arbitration organization. Its core practical function is to ensure a clear, fair, and efficient method for resolving disputes outside of court by establishing how an arbitrator is chosen, thereby preventing delays or disagreements over the arbitration process.

Each party shall then alternately strike one (1) name from the list supplied until one (1) name remains and that person shall be the arbitrator.
