- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- List each step the clause requires before a notice of arbitration, in the clause’s order, with the number of days the clause states and the date that day falls due from the notice in the file. Do not draft a notice.
- What the lawyer must review
- 9 U.S.C. § 2 makes a written arbitration agreement valid, irrevocable, and enforceable, save upon grounds that exist at law or in equity for the revocation of any contract, or as chapter 4 provides. The pre-arbitration steps are the words of that agreement. The lawyer decides whether a step is a condition of arbitrating and writes any notice. Formal Opinion 512: the tool does not invent a cooling-off period the clause does not state.
