Interested parties can apply for this important honorary position until February 20.
The tasks of arbitrators are varied: to settle and mediate disputes, damage to property, insults or compliance with the house rules in such a way that the conflict is resolved and a legal dispute is avoided.
This honorary office can be held by citizens between the ages of 30 and 70 who live in the arbitration district. Arbitrators must be suitable for the office in terms of their personality and skills. They must be known in the residential area, have authority and be able to deal with the parties to the dispute in an impartial, objective and level-headed manner.
Applicants should be experienced in life, communicative and able to deal with people. Legal training is not necessary. The honorary office, which is important for the community, requires neutrality and impartiality. The arbitrators approach conflicts objectively and without prejudice.
Appointments are made through an advertisement and selection process. The arbitrators (and their deputies) are elected by the city council for a period of five years.
The Salzgitter district court is responsible for supervising the arbitrators. The city of Salzgitter is the point of contact for organizational questions. Volunteers can turn to the district court with their concerns regarding legal issues. The work is subject to constant supervision by the local court. The city pays an annual expense allowance for costs incurred in connection with the work as an arbitrator. All arbitrators are trained for their work and receive ongoing further training. A regular exchange with the arbitrators is also part of this. Arbitrators receive a workbook with all the information they need at the start of their work.
