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.

In my opinion, it would also be beneficial to create panels of 5-7 arbitrators so that the ArbCom could multi-task. Each panel would only handle a few cases at a time instead of the entire ArbCom having to examine the evidence of every open case.

I would prefer to keep the ArbCom at its current size (or close to it) and establish lower courts to filter off the relatively easy stuff and to organize the cases into a form so that when they do appeal the ArbCom doesn't have to waste as much time marshalling the case.
A few Arbitration Assistants would not be remiss, either.
