What happens at an arbitration hearing?

Answer 1

an arbitration hearing is just like a trial, but minus the courtroom and the pomp and circumstance. Trials cost a lot of money and time, and some parties agree to disagree in front of an arbitrator, who is usually a retired judge, who will choose who wins, like in a trial. Sometimes you can ask for another opinion if you lose, but a lot of arbitration is binding, which means whatever decision the arbitrator makes, that's it. So, at a hearing, your lawyer presents your case, playing for the arbitrator. You don't get your answer right away, either.
