- From the award’s date of filing or delivery, and from the date it was made, list the dates that fall three months and one year later, and record which date the award print shows. Do not prepare a motion.
- What the lawyer must review
- 9 U.S.C. § 12: notice of a motion to vacate, modify, or correct an award must be served on the adverse party or that party’s attorney within three months after the award is filed or delivered. 9 U.S.C. § 9: if the parties agreed that a judgment shall be entered on the award, a party may apply to confirm within one year after the award is made, and the court must grant the order unless the award is vacated, modified, or corrected as prescribed in sections 10 and 11. 9 U.S.C. § 207 is a different confirmation period for an award under the Convention, and it was opened separately so that it is not used in place of § 9. The lawyer decides which section applies and writes any motion. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 applies to the paper filed in district court.
