Arbitration typically refers to the resolution of disputes outside of the court system, where the parties involved agree to submit their conflict to one or more arbitrators who make a binding decision. Common matters referred to arbitration include commercial disputes, labor and employment issues, consumer contracts, and international trade disagreements. Arbitration is often favored for its efficiency, confidentiality, and the expertise of arbitrators in specific fields. Additionally, arbitration clauses are frequently included in contracts to streamline dispute resolution processes.

No. The arbitration award would be void. Depending on whether the judge found the arbitration clause or the award itself void, the case may be sent back for arbitration or permitted to go to trial.
How are arbitrators chosen in a case?
Generally, the parties taking the dispute to arbitration first have an opportunity to choose their own arbitrator if they can agree on one. If they cannot, the arbitration company may give the parties a list of qualified individuals to serve as arbitrators and they may choose an arbitrator from the list. If they cannot agree on one of those arbitrators, the arbitration company will choose one for them. Other arbitration companies may have different methods. See the related link below for the American Arbitration Association procedure for choosing an arbitrator.

How many days for arbitration?
The duration for arbitration can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case, the rules of the arbitration institution, and the availability of the parties and arbitrators. Generally, arbitration can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. Some cases may even extend to over a year if there are significant disputes or delays. It's essential to refer to the specific arbitration agreement and rules for precise timelines.
What are some alternatives to court?
Mediation and arbitration are some alternatives to court. Mediation--A process by which two people having a dispute agree to work together to settle the dispute with the help of an impartial 3rd party mediator. The process is usually inexpensive and has about an 80% success rate in civil matters. It is also confidential. Mediation is available through your local dispute resolution center--see the phone book. Also, from personal experience as a mediator, I can assure you that it will ensure that the parties to the dispute can remain civil to each other. Arbitration--A process by which the parties agree to plead their cases to an attorney or retired judge instead of in court. This is also inexpensive and saves a great deal of money over a court trial. Arbitration can be binding (cannot be appealed) or non-binding (can be appealed). Arbitration of disputes is usually done by the American Arbitration Association, National Arbitration Forum, or Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS). Arbitration sessions are closed to the public, however, any arbitration judgment may be entered into any court having jurisdiction.
