FINRA Proposes Expanded Chairperson Qualifications

FINRA has filed a proposed rule change to provide that an attorney arbitrator would be eligible for the chairperson roster if he or she completes chairperson training and serves as an arbitrator through award on at least one arbitration, instead of two arbitrations, administered by a self-regulatory organization ("SRO") in which hearings were held.
