## 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 any sentence in the clause about a measure, an emergency appointment, or a court application before the tribunal exists, and record the appointment method the clause states. Do not write an application. |
| What the lawyer must review | No Federal Arbitration Act section opened for this version creates an emergency arbitrator. 9 U.S.C. § 5 requires the parties to follow the method of naming an arbitrator that the agreement provides, and it lets a court appoint if there is no method, a party fails to use it, or there is a lapse. 9 U.S.C. § 3 is a stay of a federal court action. The lawyer opens the institutional emergency rules before any application is sent, and the lawyer writes that application. Formal Opinion 512: do not invent a rule the clause does not contain. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: Quote any sentence in the clause about a measure, an emergency appointment, or a court application before the tribunal exists, and record the appointment method the clause states. Do not write an application.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Section 5 follows the agreement’s method of naming an arbitrator, and it lets the court appoint on a lapse. It is not a grant of interim relief on the merits.
- If the clause names an institution, the lawyer reads that institution’s current emergency rule. It is not quoted here.
