arbitration by two arbitrators, one chosen by each party

arbitration by two arbitrators, one chosen by each party

An arbitration procedure in which each party to the dispute chooses an arbitrator they prefer, and then the two arbitrators select a third to sit with them to judge the case. 'Zevel'a' is an acronym for: 'ze borer lo echad' ('this one chooses one').

("Monetary cases are judged by three: this one chooses one and that one chooses one, and together they choose a third, according to Rabbi Meir. But the Sages say: two judges choose a third for them" - Sanhedrin 3a; also: "Rabbi Yirmiyah bar Abba said 'zevel'a and zevel'a.' This implies if not this, then not that" - Tosafot Yom Tov on Bava Batra 10d)
