No, an arbitrator does not have to be a lawyer in order to preside over arbitration proceedings. Arbitrators can come from various backgrounds and do not necessarily need to be lawyers to serve in this role.
In arbitration proceedings, you can be represented by a lawyer or a legal representative who is knowledgeable about the arbitration process and can advocate on your behalf.
There are a number of sites that allow one to enter one's location in order to find an arbitration lawyer in a specific area. Some sites that allow one to locate an arbitration lawyer are the "Arbitration" site as well as the Law Info website.

It's a process where both sides come together and agree to follow and respect the decision of the arbitrator. The arbitrator is usually an attorney familiar with the field of law being decided. The decision of the arbitrator is legally binding against both parties. As you can see from the description, the decision is rendered by a lawyer so it naturally follows that having a lawyer on your side that knows the law (and thus what the arbitrator can and cannot decide) is a very helpful advocate. The most important role a lawyer plays in your ADR would be to help you determine whether ADR is the right process for your situation.
Yes, it is advisable to have a lawyer for court proceedings as they can provide legal expertise, guidance, and representation to help navigate the complexities of the legal system and protect your rights.
An arbitrator is a man or woman voluntarily selected by both parties in a conflict to give a binding verdict in a case. It is a form of settlement out of court. An arbitrator can be any person that both parties trust to make a fair judgement. He or she doesn't have to be a lawyer.

The lawyer's dilatory tactics prolonged the court proceedings unnecessarily.
Pro se is representing yourself (not having a lawyer represent you in court proceedings).
