Sarah Cole Elected to National Academy of Arbitrators
Professor Sarah Cole recently was elected to the National Academy of Arbitrators (NAA), honoring top U.S. and Canadian labor and employment arbitrators.
The NAA is a not-for-profit honorary and professional organization with nearly 600 elected members. Accomplished arbitrators in this group exemplify the highest ethical standards, advance the field of arbitration, and serve as a resource for academics, policymakers, and courts.
“I am deeply honored to be admitted to the National Academy of Arbitrators, especially under the Alternative Standard — a distinction reserved for those whose scholarly work and contributions to labor-management relations are recognized as exceptional,” said Cole. “To be welcomed into this extraordinary community of leading labor arbitrators is both humbling and profoundly meaningful.”
Cole is the Michael E. Moritz Chair in Alternative Dispute Resolution at Moritz and teaches courses in mediation, arbitration, torts, and labor law. She is the 2025–27 scholar-in-residence for the International Academy of Mediators and a nationally recognized expert in arbitration and mediation.
