About

The american arbitration association ("AAA") is dedicated to effective, efficient and economical methods of dispute resolution through education, technology and solutions-oriented service. The AAA does not decide cases. Rather, it provides a forum for the hearing of disputes, tested rules and procedures that have broad acceptance and a roster of approximately 5,300 impartial arbitrators and mediators to hear and resolve cases. Their conduct is guided by a code of ethics, such as one developed jointly by the AAA and the american BAR association. Additionally, the administration of election services is a specialized and unique capability of the AAA, and is provided to various organizations, associations and unions. Procedures seek to assure the fairness of results and give the participants the security of knowing that their democratic rights have been fully and fairly preserved.
