United States Arbitration Association (USADR) is an alternative dispute resolution organization headquartered in Denver, Colorado.
[2] The original Rules of Procedure were drafted by an attorney whose primary experience was as a NASD investigator.
In 2011, USADR expanded to provide ADR services nationally under the name United States Arbitration Association.
Clarification related to whether federal or state law takes precedence in a given arbitration matter is addressed in the USADR Rules of Procedure, for the benefit of the parties.
An arbitrator's disregard of the law presented by the parties is cause for challenging an award in a court of competent jurisdiction.
