## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Arbitration & Alternative Dispute Resolution](https://ailawframework.com/practice/arbitration-and-alternative-dispute-resolution.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | Set the disclosure beside the parties, counsel, and any relationship the file records, and list overlaps and any sentence about how the arbitrator used a tool. Write no challenge. |
| What the lawyer must review | No federal statute opened for this version requires an arbitrator to file a generative-AI disclosure. Formal Opinion 512 addresses a lawyer’s own competence and confidentiality when the lawyer uses a generative tool. It is not an arbitrator code. 9 U.S.C. § 10(a)(2) is the vacatur ground of evident partiality or corruption in the arbitrators, available to the district court where the award was made, after an award. The lawyer decides whether the disclosure raises that ground or a ground in § 10(a)(1), (3), or (4), and the lawyer writes any challenge. A challenge filed in district court is certified under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b). |
