Arbitration is the process by which parties have their disputes resolved outside of the traditional courts of law. The arbitration hearing is generally held before one to three arbitrators (fact-finders), and whose decision may be binding or non-binding. Binding arbitration is usually a product of the parties contractual obligations, whereas non-binding arbitration is generally a result of the case being mandated to arbitration first.

In Oregon, all cases which have an amount in controversy which is under $50,000 are assigned to court-annexed arbitration, and may not be tried to a jury or court until first proceeding with the arbitration process. It is estimated that 95% of all court mandated arbitration cases end in resolution at the arbitration level. However, since the arbitration program is non-binding, and participation is not mandatory, on occasion cases are appealed to the circuit court for trial.

Mr. Weiss is experienced in arbitration. He currently serves as an arbitrator on the arbitration panels in Multnomah and Clackamas Counties. If you would like to have Mr. Weiss act as an arbitrator in your case, or if you have any questions regarding arbitration, click HERE.
