Rule 6-303. Selection of Arbitrators.
Except under special procedures outlined in Chapter 6, arbitrators shall be selected as follows:
(a) The lawyer arbitrators shall be selected by the following process: the Committee shall furnish the petitioner a list of the names of four (4) possible lawyer arbitrators from which the petitioner shall strike one (1) name; the Committee shall then supply the respondent with a list of the three (3) remaining names from which the respondent shall strike one (1); the two persons whose names remain will be the lawyer members of the arbitration panel.
(b) The non-lawyer public members shall be selected by the following process: the Committee shall furnish a list of the names of three (3) possible nonlawyer public arbitrators from which the petitioner shall strike one (1) name; the Committee shall then supply the respondent with a list of the two (2) remaining names from which the respondent shall strike one (1); the person whose name remains will be the non-lawyer member of the arbitration panel.
(c) If either party fails to exercise the foregoing strikes, the Committee is authorized to establish procedures to strike for that party.
(d) Petitioner and respondent by mutual agreement shall have the right to select the three (3) arbitrators; and also mutually may agree to have the dispute determined by a sole arbitrator jointly selected by them, provided any such sole arbitrator shall be one (1) of the persons on the roster of arbitrators or shall have been approved in advance by the Committee upon the joint request of petitioner and respondent.
