While I am not an academic (just a practicing lawyer in New York), I understand there will be a panel at the forthcoming AALS meeting on the Beis Din (rabbinic Arbitration). There is a long line of cases in NY on Beis Din issues ranging from panel selection, panel composition to enforcement of judgments.

I use a contract clause to arbitrate using a Christian arbitration service. The clause spells out the service much like one would specify AAA to arbitrate. The clause does not give requirements for the arbitrators, just what organization will arbitrate. The reasoning is that the Bible tells Christians not to take their cases to secular courts. Does that make a difference? I was on a christian arbitration panel about 10 years ago.
