Arbitration is in the news. Not just a buried paragraph in the business section, but the front page. (A three-arbitrator panel issued a 34-page arbitration award finding Major League Baseball was justified in suspending baseball player Alex Rodriguez for 162 games, which A-Rod is now trying to vacate.) My own hope is that this high-profile arbitration becomes a tool for teaching the public about arbitration. Indeed, A-Rod’s experience to date offers pointers for everyone from the arbitration novices to nerds.
