## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Arbitration & Alternative Dispute Resolution](https://ailawframework.com/practice/arbitration-and-alternative-dispute-resolution.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Quote the sentences in the arbitration agreement that mention interim, provisional, or conservatory measures, and list any procedural order already made on that subject. Do not write an application. |
| What the lawyer must review | No section of the Federal Arbitration Act opened for this version authorises the tribunal to grant interim measures. 9 U.S.C. § 3 is a stay, by a court of the United States, of the trial of an action until arbitration has been had, if the applicant for the stay is not in default in proceeding with the arbitration. It is not an order from the tribunal. The application to the tribunal, if the clause allows one, is written by the lawyer after the lawyer opens the institutional rules. Those rules were not opened. Formal Opinion 512: the quotation is checked against the signed clause. |
| Written for | United States |
| Applies to | [Apply to the tribunal for interim measures](https://ailawframework.com/practice/arbitration-and-alternative-dispute-resolution/apply-to-the-tribunal-for-interim-measures.md) |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: Quote the sentences in the arbitration agreement that mention interim, provisional, or conservatory measures, and list any procedural order already made on that subject. Do not write an application.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Do not convert a court stay under § 3 into a tribunal application.
- Emergency-arbitrator procedures are in the institutional rules. They were not opened, so this entry does not describe them.
