The law of Nebraska as it relates to arbitration is reviewed, including its historical development and procedural requirements. Special note is made of how the law affects the use of arbitration by people operating small businesses. Data from surveys conducted among these business people, as well as attorneys, are analyzed to determine attitudes toward the use of arbitration for dispute resolution in the state. The surveys also indicate the extent to which the method is currently being utilized. The author provides suggestions for modifying the Nebraska arbitration law to make the procedure a more attractive alternative to litigation in the courts.
