A lawyer representing a company in Chicago has called you (you are now a partner in a law firm) and said she would like to speak with you about possibly appointing you to be an international arbitrator in an arbitration between the U.S. client she represents and a French company. She acknowledges that she has had virtually no experience in international arbitration, but says that she is an experienced advocate in domestic arbitrations.

How will you respond? For example, where will you suggest that you meet? What will you do if she asks questions you think are inappropriate? What kinds of questions and conduct do you think are inappropriate? What kinds of questions will you permit?
