[WikiEN-l] How many Arbitrators should we have?

[Fred Bauder]

One of the things which would greatly  improve  functioning and  
retention of arbitrators is effective advocates who would select and  
present evidence which illustrated the contentions of the parties. As  
it is now the arbitrators themselves are forced to view the  
ridiculous amounts of irrelevant crap which the parties advance as  
"evidence" and try to figure out on their own what is going on.
