What kind of questions should arbitrators ask?

Article Abstract:

Arbitrators, as a general rule, should not ask their own questions during arbitration proceedings. Arbitrators sometimes depart from this rule for various reasons including boredom or the desire to impress the other participants. As much as possible, arbitrators should let the lawyers and parties make their own cases. When a legitimate need to ask questions arises, arbitrators above all should be patient in asking them.
