Congrats to all law school grads out there this weekend. The hard part's over.
(Actually, that's a lie, but you'll realize that soon enough. Or, as soon as BarBri starts.)
Just think, in a year, you could be like me: drafting direct and cross outlines in her apartment on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon worrying about whether certain hearsay exceptions apply to so-called "less formal" arbitration proceedings and how to not look like an inexperienced buffoon.
In the meantime, enjoy the graduation gifts (hopefully fat checks from relatives who couldn't make it to the ceremony), dinners with family, inappropriate or boring speeches, introducing your favorite professors to your parents, and, if you happen to be so lucky, free cheap champagne at the post-ceremony reception.

From my ADR Notes:
-Arbitrators admit a lot of evidence, since you can be vacated for not admitting enough, but cannot be vacated for admitting too much. Plus, it’s therapeutic, so let them tell their story.
-The problem is that then you have to allow rebuttal.
-admit a lot of things “for what it’s worth”-just letting them vent
Hope that helps.
You will own the arbitration proceeding like the dog that it is. Go forth and kick ass.
