Insider Info

Additional Information

Many arbitrators work as lawyers when they're not settling disputes. If this is the path to arbitration you're considering, get ready to hit the books for a while. To get a law degree, you'll need three to four years of pre-law or general arts courses. Then it's on to three years of law school and a one-year internship, called articling.

If law school isn't the path you're looking for, there are other options. Some arbitrators have more general educational backgrounds, usually a PhD in a social science -- that takes about eight years of study. People with this background generally work in universities or colleges, teaching classes and publishing articles.
