Re: judges order
If you have been ordered to arbitration by a judge, I highly suggest you personally attend the proceeding, along with any attorney you may hire to represent your rights and interests at that proceeding. Court-ordered arbitration is essentially like a private trial, and absent a court order excusing your attendance and participation ( and it appears you have specifically ordered to do both), you are probably required to be there as a party/witness, and available to personally testify if called to do so. It is likely your failure to personally attend court-ordered arbitration in the circumstances you describe would result in the case being finally decided against you, based on your failure to appear and attend.

I agree. You can have an attorney assist you. If you want to be allowed to have a representative then to be on the safe side, ask permission of the court.
