The Three-Month Cycle
Once your case is file-stamped, an Arbitrator is assigned. Your case will then automatically appear on a “Status Call” every three months.
- The Goal of the Call: It is a scheduled check-in where the parties update the Arbitrator on the case’s progress.
- Representing Yourself: If you don’t have a lawyer, you are responsible for appearing at these calls. Failure to show up could lead to your case being dismissed.

“You’re going to be receiving notices to appear… you have to appear in court every three months and represent yourself, and that’s a complicated thing.” — Jack Epstein
