How the AI Arbitrator works
From filing to final award, see how our guided, AI-powered process delivers efficient, trusted arbitration—step by step.
Step 1
The claimant logs in, files the case, and pays the fees.
Step 2
The respondent is invited via secure platform notification to log in, view the filing, and respond.
Step 3
The respondent reviews and updates information and provides a response to the claim.
Step 4
The case moves to submissions. The claimant’s position statement is analyzed by the AI Arbitrator, which extracts claims automatically. The claimant confirms claims.
Step 5
The claimant uploads their exhibits and may upload their legal authority (case law, statutes, etc.). The AI Arbitrator generates editable descriptions to create a clear case record.
Step 6
The respondent files their responsive submission.
Step 7
The claimant may file a reply in response to the respondent’s submission.
Step 8
AI generates a conflict checklist based on party information. Users review and confirm the AI’s conflict checklist.
Step 9
The system assigns an AAA human arbitrator. Parties can either consent to the appointment or object with reasons.
Step 10
The AI Arbitrator produces a fully AI-generated case summary.
Step 11
Parties review the AI arbitrator’s narrative, confirm accuracy, and provide feedback.
Step 12
The AAA arbitrator reviews the Parties’ feedback, case summaries, and evidence, and confirms the structure for the AI Arbitrator to generate legal analysis.
Step 13
The AI Arbitrator proposes draft award amounts and generates the draft award.
Step 14
The human arbitrator reviews the draft award and revises it if needed before signing and issuing the award.
Step 15
The award is issued and parties are notified.
