Questions presented

  1. Whether a court may affirm an arbitration award after recognizing that it is unclear whether federal or state law governs the standard of review, but without resolving which law applies.

  2. Whether a court may reject claims of arbitrator partiality and nondisclosure without applying the objective appearance-of-bias standard required by Commonwealth Coatings Corp. v. Continental Casualty Co., 393 U.S. 145 (1968).

  3. Whether due process permits affirmance where material information bearing on adjudicative neutrality appears on the record during the proceedings but is not addressed.
