Employment Arbitration Agreements: The Case For Ethical Standards For Dispute Resolution System Designers, Michael L. Russell
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
Dispute resolution design is an emerging field, both academically and professionally. Attorneys, mediators, and arbitrators, the other roles in the alternative dispute resolution process, have codes of ethics which guide their conduct.

This article uses the example of mandatory arbitration agreements in the employment context to illustrate why this lack of ethical guidelines for dispute resolutions designers is problematic.

more frequently bound by nondisclosure agreements, non-disparagement
provisions, and mandatory arbitration agreements. These developments have
made it more difficult for workers to communicate with each other and to act
collectively.
