Fee arbitration
Proposed amendments to the Rules of Procedure for Fee Arbitrations and the Enforce-ment of Awards fall into several categories: achieving uniformity in grammar and style; deleting duplicative language; streamlining the administrative process; achieving conformity with recent changes in the law; and proposing new rules where needed to clarify and articulate standing procedures that are missing from the current rules.
