Abstract

This study examined the relationship between legal representation and case outcome in nondiscipline/discharge arbitration cases. Logit estimation of 864 nondiscipline/discharge cases suggested the probability of receiving a favorable award was significantly greater if one party was represented by a lawyer at the arbitration hearing and the other side did not rely on legal counsel.
