Draft arbitration rules
This outline is a working draft under review by North Carolina counsel. It is not yet in effect, and no case is governed by it.
- Agreement to arbitrate. All parties sign a written agreement, before or after a dispute arises, including the AI-use disclosure.
- Seat and law. Each arbitration is seated in North Carolina under the North Carolina Revised Uniform Arbitration Act and the Federal Arbitration Act.
- Starting a case. The claimant submits a short statement, the amount in dispute, and documents; the other party is invited to respond.
- Submissions. Each side has 14 days to submit documents, then 7 days to reply to the other side.
- Summary check. Each side confirms or corrects the AI-prepared summary of its position.
- Arbitrator. A panel arbitrator is appointed after disclosing any conflicts. Parties may object for cause.
- Decision. The arbitrator reviews the full record and a proposed draft, decides, and signs a written, reasoned award, targeted within 30 days of final submissions.
- Fees. As published on the pricing page, subject to the Access Fund.
- Confidentiality. Case records are private; published reasoning is anonymized.
