Once registered for the course, you will be asked whether you intend to apply for placement on the FMCS Roster. If you do not apply for FMCS Roster placement at this time, you must send an e-mail or fax affirming this.

 Topics:

  • The law of arbitration
  • Arbitration, practice, scheduling and pre-hearing procedures

  • Evidence
  • Award and opinion writing
  • Ethics

Successful completion of this training will substitute for three of the five minimum number of cases required to be placed on the FMCS Roster of Arbitrators. This change became effective December 27, 2005. However, successful completion of the course does not guarantee a place on the FMCS Roster. The course can also enhance the practice and skills of current arbitrators. 

Please Note: The staff and faculty for the Labor Arbitration course require a clear bio of your Collective Bargaining Experience to be completed and submitted prior to acceptance to the course, if you intend to apply for placement on the FMCS Arbitrator Roster. This bio must outline, unambiguously, your years of collective bargaining experience.
