New Jersey A1573 prohibits an arbitrator from resuming their role after serving as a mediator unless the parties agree.

New Jersey A1573 amends the state's arbitration law to clarify that an arbitrator appointed under P.L.2003, c.95 who assumes the role of mediator cannot resume the role of arbitrator unless the parties agree. This codifies a previous court decision that found an arbitrator who resumed the role of arbitrator after serving as mediator must vacate any award entered after resuming the role.
