Help me try to keep your case as simple as possible. Tell me the story in a way that I can understand it, and most importantly, don’t try to obscure the weaknesses in your case. Bring them out and address them for me, because I’m going to wind up finding them, and if I have to find them myself, I’m going to be very frustrated with you as a party. My goal as an arbitrator is to try to get it right and try to be objective and fair to both sides.

New York, NY business attorney Richard S. Green shares his advice to parties coming before him in ADR. The arbitrator requests that the case be kept as simple as possible. The story should be told in a way that is easy to understand, and most importantly, the weaknesses in the case should not be obscured. These weaknesses should be brought out and addressed, as the arbitrator will inevitably find them. If the arbitrator has to uncover them independently, it will result in frustration with the party. The goal of the arbitrator is to get it right, remaining objective and fair to both sides.
