Rule 6.6
SELECTION OF ARBITRATORS
Rule Text
If a disqualified arbitrator is an attorney, the alternate arbitrator shall be the attorney on the list sent to the parties with the next lowest number. If the arbitrator disqualified is a lay person, the alternate shall be the lay person on the list sent to the parties with the next lowest number. The State Bar shall immediately advise the parties of the name of the alternate arbitrator to replace the disqualified arbitrator. If there are no alternates available from the initial list of proposed arbitrators submitted to the parties, the State Bar will submit a new numbered list of three (3) names of either all attorneys or all lay persons, whichever is to be replaced. Within ten
(10) days of receipt of the list, each party will cross off the name of one person and return the list to the State Bar. The alternate will be the person remaining on the list with the lowest number.
