Bob has studied the rules of various arbitration providers. He knows an effective advocate chooses the arbitration forum that offers the rules best suited for the particular controversy. So, for instance, "If you want depositions, why not pick an arbitration forum whose rules expressly allow depositions?" Always the riddler, Bob put this question on his office wall.

Having read so many cases on the "policies favoring arbitration," Bob has several mantras he mutters to anyone who will listen. (A shrinking audience.) One mantra: Parties have a right to take an immediate interlocutory appeal from a trial court order that refuses to compel arbitration.

You want to find a well-drafted and carefully-thought-out arbitration agreement? Ask Bob to look into his form file. He will pull out just what you need. Over the years, he has refined and refined his forms—to correct errors he made in prior iterations—and he now has a form arbitration agreement that is the best for any type of dispute and for any type of issue. At least that is what Bob tells his colleagues.

It was a very complicated dispute. The parties threw out words like "unamortized," "depreciation," "EBITA" and "capital improvements." Bob's head was spinning. At least he had the foresight to convince the other side jointly to retain a certified public accountant to determine the "unamortized cost of tenant's improvements according to the terms of the lease." The parties agreed the accountant's decision would be "final and binding." It all sounded like an arbitration to Bob. That made him comfortable.
