This season, Fielding Law celebrates its third year as proud sponsors of UCI Baseball, continuing to support the Anteaters and their athletic achievements. But this time, the sponsorship goes beyond just supporting the team – it is about sharing the excitement and passion of the game. During the UCI vs UCLA baseball game, Clark Fielding (aka Clark the Shark) and former UCI outfielder Ryan Cooper (senior attorney) teamed up with famed announcer Mark Roberts in the broadcast booth for an unforgettable experience.

With Clark and Ryan at the helm, the broadcast was filled with vibrant game analysis, inside stories from their playing days, and a deep love for baseball. Their shared history with UCI Baseball added a personal touch, bringing fans closer to the action. Ryan, now a Senior Attorney at Fielding Law, provided a wealth of knowledge about the game and discussed the grit it takes to play at the college level.

Court-Appointed Arbitrator Arizona: Clark H. Fielding’s Role in Justice

By Firm News and Celebrations, In the Community, Personal Injury

What It Means to Be a Court-Appointed Arbitrator in Arizona

At Fielding Law, we are proud to share that Clark H. Fielding has once again been trusted to serve as a court-appointed Arbitrator in Arizona for the Superior Court of Arizona, Maricopa County. This is not a new role for Clark. For years, the court has relied on his knowledge, fairness, and dedication to help resolve cases efficiently and with care. His appointment in Case No. CV2024-011405 is just one more example of the respect he has earned within the legal community. But what exactly does an Arbitrator do, and why does this matter to you?

Understanding Court-Ordered Arbitration in Arizona

Many civil cases in Maricopa County go through compulsory arbitration. This process applies to certain disputes, usually those involving claims under a specific monetary amount.

Instead of facing a full trial with a judge or jury, these cases move to arbitration. There, an experienced attorney like Clark H. Fielding serves as the Arbitrator. He listens carefully to both sides. Then, after reviewing the facts, he makes a fair decision based on Arizona law.

This system helps resolve cases more efficiently. It also reduces the burden on the courts while ensuring each case still receives thoughtful attention.

How Are Court-Appointed Arbitrators Selected?

The court carefully chooses court-appointed Arbitrators in Arizona. Not every attorney qualifies. To serve in this role, an attorney must:

  • Stay active with the State Bar of Arizona.
  • Maintain good standing without any disciplinary issues.
  • Have a minimum level of experience practicing law.
  • Accept appointments as part of their professional duties.

The Superior Court’s Arbitration Department manages these appointments. They assign Arbitrators on a rotating basis from a list of qualified attorneys. This ensures fairness and balance across cases.

What Does an Arbitrator Do?

An Arbitrator’s job is to provide a fair hearing. During the arbitration, the Arbitrator listens to both parties and reviews all the evidence. After careful consideration, they issue an Award. This decision explains who is legally responsible and outlines any damages owed.

Although arbitration is less formal than a traditional trial, it remains an official legal process. In some cases, either party can appeal the decision and request a trial. However, many cases find resolution at the arbitration stage, saving time and resources for everyone involved.

Clark FieldingHow Clark’s Appointment Reflects Fielding Law

The court only appoints trusted attorneys as Arbitrators. These individuals must demonstrate not only strong legal skills but also fairness, integrity, and professionalism.

Clark H. Fielding earned this appointment because of his proven dedication to justice. His reputation as a knowledgeable and reliable attorney made him a clear choice to serve as a court-appointed Arbitrator in Arizona.

At Fielding Law, this same commitment drives everything we do. Whether Clark is leading our team, helping clients after serious injuries, or serving the community through arbitration, his focus remains the same. He works to make the legal system approachable, fair, and effective.

When you choose Fielding Law, you work with a team that is respected both inside and outside the courtroom. We understand the legal process and use that knowledge to guide our clients with care, clarity, and confidence.
