Choosing the right arbitrator is one of the most consequential decisions in any arbitration. The SCC's list procedure gives parties a structured way to take part in that decision, supporting an efficient appointment process and confidence in the composition of the Arbitral Tribunal.   Rather than a direct Board appointment, the SCC shares a shortlist of candidates, the parties indicate their preferences, and the SCC appoints on that basis.   Candidates are assessed against criteria including case-specific expertise, prior arbitral experience, the seat, governing law and language of proceedings, and diversity considerations.   Swipe through to see how the procedure works, who can request it, and what it involves.   Questions about list procedures or arbitrator appointments?
