NOTICE: You may use this form to request that the court confirm, correct, or vacate an award in an arbitration conducted. Judicial arbitration is a binding or non-binding process where an arbitrator applies the law to the facts of the case and issues an award.Drafting an enforceable arbitration agreement in California demands a nuanced understanding of both statespecific and federal laws. JAMS offers sample dispute resolution clauses that may be inserted into a contract prior to any dispute ever arising. Arbitration is meant to be expeditious and to avoid the time and expense associated with proceeding in court.
