The disclosure subcommittee for arbitration of the American Bar Association's (ABA) Dispute Resolution Section has issued a revised draft of its paper about arbitrator disclosures with respect to potential conflicts of interest. The draft sets out recommended "best practice" disclosure guidelines to be used by arbitrators, and includes a disclosure checklist and commentary for arbitrators to use to identify and disclose relationships and circumstances that may pose partiality issues.

The subcommittee has asked for comments by 29 February 2008. It aims to present the revised draft to the ABA Dispute Resolution Section Council on 2 April 2008. See here for a copy of the draft.
