Arbitration exists by contractual design. For this reason, Barry Ostrager writes in the New York Law Journal, considerable thought should be given to the terms in a contract that provide for the resolution of a dispute by #arbitration. All too often parties insert arbitration clauses that give rise to problems that could be avoided if more thought were given to the drafting of an arbitration clause.
