American Arbitration Association

The American Arbitration Association (AAA) is a non-profit organization that provides a framework for resolving disputes outside of traditional court systems. Instead of going to court, parties can choose arbitration, where a neutral third-party arbitrator hears their case and makes a binding decision. This process is typically faster and more flexible than going through the courts. The AAA establishes rules and guidelines to ensure that arbitration is fair and efficient, covering a wide range of issues, from commercial contracts to employment disputes.
