Selection of arbitrators

Which topics are inappropriate
for pre‑appointment
interviews?

During our survey interviews, arbitrators
revealed that inappropriate questioning during
pre-appointment interviews is rarely a major
issue. Arbitrators explained that on the rare
occasions they have been asked inappropriate
questions (which have usually been by less
experienced lawyers or parties), they always
politely declined to answer. Many arbitrators
said that they made clear in advance the limits
of the interview discussion, particularly when
being approached by unknown interviewers.
Others also referred interviewers to
the existing guidelines to clarify what the
boundaries of questioning should be
(e.g., the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators’
guidelines on ‘The Interviewing of
Prospective Arbitrators’).
