Arbitration

Arbitration is a time-tested, cost-effective alternative to litigation. Arbitration is the submission of a dispute to one or more impartial persons for a final and binding decision, known as an "award." Awards are made in writing and are generally final and binding on the parties in the case. The AAA's arbitration services include access to its superior case management services, well-screened expert neutrals who undergo continuous training, and the AAA's Rules and Procedures that govern the various ADR processes.

AAA arbitrators possess years of industry-specific knowledge and experience. The AAA's Panel of Arbitrators includes more than 7,000 individuals located throughout the world. Their conduct is guided by the Association's Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes. Information about AAA arbitrators is available to parties who have already filed a case.

The AAA's Rules and Procedures cover arbitrations across a wide variety of industries and case types. These rules and procedures detail the steps in the resolution process and ensure that all parties to a case are treated fairly and equitably. The commercial, consumer, employment and labor rules, as well as the rules for state programs can be found in this section of the website.
