Issues addressed include: Is judging and arbitrating the same? Has the role of arbitrator changed over the years? What extraneous factors influence arbitrators and is there an ideal personality type for arbitrator?  The future evolution of arbitrators including the development of AI in the arbitration space is also covered. The information in this podcast was correct at the time of recording.
