HOW TO SUBMIT A CASE

Introduction:
divider
The Center for Legal Solutions' Arbitration Services offer a prompt, just and efficient method of resolving disputes. Arbitration is an adversarial process in which parties present opposing claims to a neutral Arbitrator. Following a hearing, the Arbitrator issues an Award which decides who prevails on the claims.

Arbitration has proven a fair and efficient alternative to courtroom litigation for disputes that the parties have been unable to resolve through negotiation or mediation. During arbitration proceedings, parties can argue their case to the arbitrator, present evidence and examine witnesses

Arbitration always takes place by agreement of the participants. A written agreement to arbitrate is enforceable and confers jurisdiction on the courts to enter and enforce judgment on resulting arbitration awards. Such an agreement may be made before or after a dispute arises. See Filing Instructions for Arbitration to get started with your arbitration.

Our Rules for Arbitration reflect a specific set of principles and values, read about the principles and values behind these Rules.
