Literary notes about arbitrate (AI summary)
The term "arbitrate" has been employed in literature to denote a formal process of mediation and decision-making, as well as to highlight limits to its application. In the context of resolving disputes, the word takes on a decisive role—the Archbishop, for instance, is called to arbitrate a matter and ultimately rules in Leonora's favor [1]. Conversely, in discussions of etiquette and personal matters, such as dress codes, the term is used to indicate a reluctance to intervene or prescribe standards, reflecting a boundary to its jurisdiction [2]. Moreover, it is sometimes invoked in critiques of institutional decision-making, where parties reject arbitration in favor of self-serving courts, thereby emphasizing corruption and a lack of impartiality [3].
