Summary:In this Article, we propose to review the positions asserted in the debates over the arbitrator’s role; to show how some of these positions are illegitimate or fundamentally incompatible with the context within which arbitration operates, while others are simply incomplete; and to offer a new formulation of the arbitrator’s job as a composite of several widely recognized roles.
