What is the source of an arbitrator's authority to arbitrate?

The source of an arbitrator's authority comes from the parties to the dispute being arbitrated. Both parties agree that their dispute will be settled through arbitration rather than through litigation and they enter into a contract promising that the arbitration will be binding they will abide by the decision of the arbitrator. If one party refuses to honor the arbitrator's decision, the other party can go to court and have the court enforce the arbitration decision, but it won't have to litigate the actual dispute all over again.

What is an advantage of arbitration?

The main advantage is that the dispute involved may be resolved with the same degree of finality that litigation provides but within a shorter period of time and at a lower cost. The procedures inherent in arbitration generally follow those of the American Arbitration Association. They are faster and less formal than those in the usual litigation process and in some cases, particularly in complex commercial contract cases, result in a more satisfactory resolution of the dispute at hand. Another advantage is that the dispute will be arbitrated by an expert in the field of the dispute rather than by a judge who might or might not have as much expertise over the subject matter. The intricacies of the subject involved might be better understood because of that. See the related link below for more information about the American Arbitration Association.
