Qualification Criteria for Admittance to the AAA-ICDR Panel of Arbitrators and Mediators
Openings on our Roster are extremely limited. The AAA-ICDR only recruits individuals who have expertise in areas that align with the types of cases the AAA-ICDR administers. Consequently, even candidates with strong credentials may not be added to our Roster.
Arbitration Panel
The AAA is committed to recruiting only the most qualified and exceptional arbitrators – possessing judicial capacity, temperament and extensive industry knowledge, experience and acceptability to parties. Candidates applying to the roster are typically prominent in their fields and have subject matter expertise in areas where arbitration is often used as an alternative form of dispute resolution.
Mediation Panel
Qualified mediators are the heart of the mediation process and the AAA is committed to offering a Panel of Mediators in which parties can have the utmost confidence. As part of adding highly qualified mediators to its Roster, the AAA-ICDR seeks to recruit candidates whom parties likely will select to serve on their cases.

Training Opportunities
Joining the AAA-ICDR Roster of Neutrals offers significant benefits. AAA-ICDR panelists possess expertise in specific areas of their disciplines and engage in ongoing education in ADR practices. As a panelist, you gain exclusive training opportunities that are available only to members of the Roster.
