This week your discussion topic is to post a brief profile of a fictitious member of the National Academy of Arbitration and Arbitration Data. Make it look like a mini-job description. Use Exhibit 11.1 as a reference. As a supplement, you may also want to do a search of "Labor dispute mediator descriptions" or similar.

Often I have had students confused by the simplicity of this assignment. They try to make it more than it is intended to be. This is intended to be a simple exercise to encourage you to digest the characteristics of a typical Arbitrator.

Write your response to this assignment and post it as a reply to this topic. Feel free to reply to other postings. This is a graded assignment.
