New Recommendations by the FINRA Dispute Resolution Task Force (11th Article)

From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:

This is the eleventh in a series of posts to discuss the 51 recommendations that the FINRA Dispute Resolution Task Force (Task Force) has made to the National Arbitration and Mediation Committee (NAMC). NAMC is FINRA’s standing Board advisory committee.

The Task Force recommended that FINRA should require compulsory training sessions for arbitrators with a record of poor evaluations and for inexperienced arbitrators. FINRA generally agreed with the Task Force that in certain instances, FINRA should require an arbitrator to take additional training sessions. Therefore, FINRA updated its procedures relating to counseling and requiring additional training for arbitrators.
