Third-Party Subpoenas in Arbitration

Arbitration offers parties a dispute resolution mechanism that can provide finality while also limiting expenses and delays. Increasingly, however, parties seek expansive discovery in the context of arbitration. This program focuses on the third-party subpoenas in arbitration. What is the state of the law relating to subpoenas in arbitration? Is the law developing coherently across jurisdictions in the U.S., or rife for strategic forum-shopping? How do parties and arbitration advocates view the role of third-party subpoenas in arbitration? How can arbitrators remain true to the agreement of the parties in the context of discovery disputes?
