Are litigants allowed to speak with the Arbitrators regarding their final decision after the hearing?
A litigant who wishes to speak with an Arbitrator regarding a final decision after a hearing may do so only if that Arbitrator indicates a willingness to discuss the claim. If the Arbitrator indicates that he or she is unwilling to discuss a judicial decision, they should not be approached further by the litigant or his or her counsel. Should a party have a particularly difficult problem with an Arbitrator, they should address that concern with the Manager of the Arbitration Program.
