Want to change California's arbitrator ethics rules?
November 13, 2005 by Ross Runkel at LawMemo
Now is the time to sit down and think hard about proposed changes to California's Ethics Standards for Neutral Arbitrators in Contractual Arbitration.
The California Judicial Council is soliciting comments on any and all aspects of the Standards.
The staff has recommended one change - exempting arbitrators serving in proceedings governed by rules of securities industry self-regulating bodies and approved by the Securities Exchange Commission. Recent cases in the Ninth Circuit and the California Supreme Court have held that the California Rules are preempted in such cases, so a rule change by California will simply spell out the current reality.
However, there just might be one or two other provisions that need to be addressed.
Deadline for comments: Friday, January 20, 2006.
