Where is the arbitration hearing held?
Normally, the arbitration hearing is held in a conference room at the courthouse. The room is assigned by the arbitration clerk prior to the hearing. At request and consent of all parties, including the arbitrator, the hearing may be held at a more convenient location. This must be confirmed by the arbitration clerk. Any changes in location or schedules, continuances, or adjournments must be made promptly to the arbitration department. If the arbitration hearing takes place at a location other than the courthouse, the parties must notify the arbitration clerk that the hearing went forward and the outcome of the same. If the parties have agreed upon a settlement, the arbitration clerk must be notified immediately.
