ADD: attention deficit disorder or an arbitrator's disciplinary dilemma
Article Abstract:
Employees with attention deficit disorder (ADD) who file mediation and arbitration claims in the workplace pose special challenges to negotiators. Many employers, arbitrators and labor officials are still uninformed about ADD. Claims can be related to collective bargaining agreements, which are often resolved by arbitration, and the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), which are often resolved in courts. Arbitrators, employers, and labor officials need to become more educated about ADD, which is marked by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.

Problems and solutions: the attorney and the non-attorney arbitrator
Article Abstract:
Attorneys who represent clients in arbitration must understand the perspective of a non-attorney arbitrator if the attorney's representation is to be successful. Non-attorneys may not understand points of law as well as attorneys. They may not place as much importance on discovery. Their decision processes may have been formed by their experiences in a technical and business climate, where surprises and insufficient data are commonplace. An aggressive litigating style is often out of place in arbitration.
