When will mankind be convinced and agree to settle their difficulties by arbitration?

-Benjamin Franklin

Settle your differences

Awards

Arbitrators are hired, ultimately, to produce and deliver (typically within 30 to 60 calendar days) a final and binding reasoned decision or Award, upon due consideration of the entire record put before them. The quality of analysis and rational weighing of facts and circumstances is, therefore, important to Parties. They often wish to see Award samples before selecting an arbitrator. Under the Arbitrator Code of Professional Responsibility (approved by the NAA, FMCS, and AAA), arbitration Awards are confidential, and Arbitrators may not generally publish them. Nonetheless, Arbitrator Vaile has permission to share a few others and can also share Awards issued under the Federal Services Labor Management Relations Statute (71 USC § 7101 et seq.), which are deemed public records.
