Common use of Selecting an Arbitrator Clause in Contracts

Selecting an Arbitrator. One neutral arbitrator who is a licensed attorney will be selected in a manner consistent with AAA's Rules. The AAA will provide you and the Company with a list of seven neutral arbitrators who MUST have expertise in employment law and are licensed to practice law. The AAA, to the extent possible, will provide lists which include a diverse group of arbitrators. The AAA may not limit its list to arbitrators in one city, state or region but, instead, must include arbitrators from all regions of the United States on the same list. You and the Company can agree on an arbitrator from that list or in any other mutually agreeable manner. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator from the list, the parties will select the arbitrator by exercising alternating strikes with the party requesting arbitration striking first until only one arbitrator remains on the list. If either party fails or refuses to exercise its strikes, the other party selects the arbitrator. Once an arbitrator is selected, the Company will notify AAA. If either party does not find the first list acceptable, either party can request a different list. If either party wishes to reject the first or second list, that party must notify AAA within 15 days of the date the list was mailed or that party waives its right of rejection. Any request for a new list must be made prior to beginning the alternate strike process. The alternate strike process may not begin (unless mutually agreed otherwise) until the 15-day rejection period has expired. If the first two lists are rejected, an arbitrator must be selected from the third and final list. The arbitrator cannot have any personal or financial interest in the dispute. Occasionally, a name appears on the list whose current law firm represents the Company. In that case, when so notified, the AAA must send a replacement list to the parties and may not substitute just one new name to the original list. Before accepting the appointment, the arbitrator will be required to disclose to the AAA any information which may prevent a prompt hearing or create an appearance of bias. If any such information is presented to the AAA, the AAA will communicate that information to you and the Company. Depending on your and the Company’s response, the AAA may disqualify that person. If the selected individual elects not to serve, is disqualified, or is unable to serve promptly, another list of seven arbitrators will be provided. You and the Company will then select an arbitrator as described above.
