Once a linguistic professor explained to me that “misleading” or “ambivalent” words are a dangerous game but at the same time a road for innovation and progress. Since I left my practice as counsel, I consider myself to be “independent arbitrator”. Each and all the arbitrators must be independent. So, the word appears to be ambivalent or misleading as it stresses what is common ground in our activity. Yes, but I have no better choice to emphasize that being arbitrator is my professional activity and not only one among others; that I don’t answer to clients and will not have any client in the future; that my only god is now the duty to settle disputes without any conflict of interest that might arise in the future. Yes, probably “focused arbitrator” would be ok… if not also misleading.
