Description

The legitimacy of arbitration depends not only on fair procedures, but also on the credibility of the decision-makers themselves. Yet many arbitral rosters fail to reflect the diversity of the parties who appear before them. This panel, moderated by Andrea K. Schneider, will examine why representation among neutrals matters, how a lack of diversity can perpetuate systemic imbalances, and what steps can be taken to broaden the pool of arbitrators in the decades ahead. Panelists Homer La Rue, Ama-Birago Fosu, and Imre Szalai will share perspectives on expanding pathways to the profession and promoting more inclusive systems of dispute resolution.
