This week, IDN host Mike McIlwrath returns to one of his favorite subjects, gathering information when choosing a neutral. It's the second of a three-part series distilled from Mike's final discussion with arbitration scholar Thomas Walde, who passed away in a household accident last October a couple of weeks after these interviews were recorded. It's a provocative IDN, as the talk turns to the qualification of arbitrators, and how sex and age figure into parties' hiring assessments.
