Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
23-506 2nd Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2023

Issue: Whether an arbitrator’s failure to disclose a relationship evinces evident partiality if it shows the arbitrator “might reasonably be thought biased,” as Commonwealth Coatings Corp. v. Continental Casualty Co. held, or instead only if a reasonable person “would have to conclude” that the arbitrator was actually biased.
