Judges are answerable to only the court and law. However, an arbitrator is only answerable to the parties they are dealing with. Some of the more comparison points are mentioned below:

Feature	Arbitrator	Judge
Selection	Chosen by the parties involved in the dispute	Appointed by the government or judicial system
Authority	Derives authority from the arbitration agreement	Derives authority from the law and the Constitution
Focus	Resolving a specific dispute between private parties	Upholding the law and delivering justice in all cases brought before the court
Flexibility	Can tailor procedures and rules to suit the specific dispute	Follows established court procedures and rules
