DSBA periodically offers training to certify as a DSBA-approved arbitrator
ARBITRATION SERVICES
DSBA conducts an initial arbitration training (3 hours) for anyone wishing to be certified as a DSBA certified arbitrator. One additional course (2 hours) is required to obtain special certification in any of the following areas: FAMILY LAW (DOMESTIC RELATIONS); LABOR & EMPLOYMENT LAW; PERSONAL INJURY LAW; COMMERCIAL LAW; ESTATES & TRUSTS LAW. Training using video online CLE is permissible. Certification lasts for 7 years and can be refreshed by taking a refresher seminar (the 2 hour subject matter course, not the entire 5 hour training).
BENEFITS of TRAINING with DSBA:
-
Use of available DSBA conference rooms for holding mediations at a reduced rate. (Availability depends on CLE needs)
-
Use of DSBA Certification logo for arbitrators – for use on websites, email, etc.**
* If DSBA serves as an intermediary in assisting with appointment as an arbitrator, the DSBA will request a small portion of the fees ($50).
** If the attorney discontinues certification with the DSBA, the right to use this logo ends upon the last day of certification unless the attorney refreshes certification.
