First-hand guide to arbitration for practitioners and arbitrators alike, written from the perspective of what an experienced arbitrator looks for in the hearing process.

New Jersey Arbitration Handbook is a practical guide to arbitration for practitioners and arbitrators alike. It serves as an essential resource for lawyers, demonstrating what they can expect in a typical hearing—and what will be expected of them. The handbook is supplemented with topical case summaries from the pages of the New Jersey Law Journal, as well as the pertinent statutes and rules.

Chapters include:

  • Overview of Arbitration in the Dispute Resolution Process
  • Commencing the Arbitration
  • Before the Hearing
  • Evidence Law Considerations
  • Selected Evidence Provisions
  • The Hearing
  • The Award
  • After the Award
  • Other Arbitration Regimes

“Dreier and Bartkus have truly demonstrated in the Handbook how the arbitration process can be conducted as an efficient, less expensive and final alternative to the public court system.”

—Robert E. Margulies, Schumann Hanlon Margulies LLC

“There are few resources available to arbitrators to answer questions small or substantial in both the procedural and substantive areas of the law; New Jersey Arbitration Handbook is that resource. I depend upon the book for explanatory issues from jurisdiction to discovery. It answers my questions with case law and statutory citations, plus an effective dose of practicality”

—Hon. Harriet Derman, Chancellor and Presiding Judge, Retired
    Mediator, Arbitrator, and Special Master, Harriet Derman, Esq. LLC

The 2025 edition of New Jersey Arbitration Handbook includes over 90 new published and “unpublished” cases from New Jersey state and federal courts (including the Third Circuit), commentary on significant out-of-state cases as well as landmark cases in the United States Supreme Court and New Jersey Supreme Court during 2024 and early 2025, the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Commercial Arbitration Rules, the 2021 ICDR Arbitration Rules, plus additional and expanded sections.
