LMAR 8.6
                 Compensation of Arbitrator.


     a)   Generally.  Arbitrators shall be compensated in the
       same amount and manner as judges pro tempore of the superior
       court; provided, however, that said compensation shall not
       exceed $500.00 for any case unless prior approval is granted
       by the presiding judge.  Hearing time and reasonable
       preparation time are compensable.  Arbitrators may be
       reimbursed a sum not to exceed $25.00 for costs incurred.

     b)   Form.  When the award is filed, the arbitrator shall
       submit to the presiding court ex parte a request on a form
       prescribed by the court.  The presiding judge shall
       determine the amount of compensation and costs, if any are
       to be paid.
