Summary: This week, IDN host Mike McIlwrath returns to one of his favorite subjects, gathering information when choosing a neutral. It’s the second of a three-part series distilled from Mike’s final discussion with arbitration scholar Thomas Walde, who passed away in a household accident last October a couple of weeks after these interviews were recorded. It’s a provocative IDN, as the talk turns to the qualification of arbitrators, and how sex and age figure into parties’ hiring assessments.

Next Friday, in Part III, Mike and Thomas look at actual arbitrator resumes, and discuss how they evaluate the people they hire.
