Arbitration is a way of settling a dispute without having to go to court. You are called the claimant and the party you're taking action against is the respondent. You both put your case to an independent person called an arbitrator.
You and your attorney will show up to the hearing. If you brought someone with you (a friend or family member), they'll likely have to wait outside. You and the other party will sit on either side of a table with your respective attorneys while the arbitrator sits at the head.
Arguments should flow easily from the relevant facts and applicable law. Avoid exaggerating the strengths of your case as well as disparaging the opposing side. Remember that professionalism and credibility are critical to persuasiveness.
