     (a) Arbitration Panel.  There shall be a panel of arbitrators in such
numbers as the Superior Court Judges may from time to time determine.  A person
desiring to serve as an arbitrator shall complete an information sheet on the
form prescribed by the Court.  A list showing the names of arbitrators
available to hear cases and the information sheets will be available for public
inspection in the Arbitration Administrator's Office.  The oath of office on
the form prescribed by the Court must be completed and filed prior to an
applicant being placed on the panel.

     (b) Refusal; Disqualification.  The appointment of an arbitrator is
subject to the right of that person to refuse to serve.  An arbitrator must
notify the Arbitration Administrator immediately if refusing to serve or if any
cause exists for the arbitrator's disqualification from the case upon any of the
grounds of interest, relationship, bias or prejudice set forth in CJC Cannon 3(c)
governing the disqualification of judges.  If disqualified, the Arbitrator
must immediately return all materials in a case to the Arbitration Administrator.
