Arbitration Law

Arbitration Law: As per the dictionary, arbitration means “the use of an arbitrator to settle a dispute”. Therefore, similar to that, Arbitration Law means a process in which the 2 parties submit their dispute to one or more arbiters. The parties choose to solve the dispute in private rather than going to court. It is then the job of the arbitrator to solve the dispute objectively.

For example, when 2 people can not agree on the terms of the divorce, they can take the help of a 3rd party (the arbitrator) to help them negotiate. This type of agreement falls under the arbitration law.

Who is an arbitrator? An arbitrator is not a judge. Judges are answerable to only the court and law. However, an arbitrator is only answerable to the parties they are dealing with. Although arbitrators do take oaths to be fair and impartial and apply the law as do judges.

Another way to sum up the definition is a “method to solve conflict outside the court”. It is a specialisation of law that the candidates can opt for.

Arbitration Law can be pursued at UG and PG levels. Also, candidates can get a diploma or certificate degree in this specialisation.
