American Arbitration Association (AAA)

The American Arbitration Association (AAA) is a non-profit organization that provides services for resolving disputes outside of traditional court settings. Instead of going to court, parties in disagreement can choose to resolve their issues through arbitration, where an impartial third party reviews the case and makes a binding decision. The AAA establishes rules, administers the arbitration process, and offers a roster of qualified arbitrators. This method can be faster and less formal than court proceedings, making it a popular choice for businesses and individuals seeking to settle conflicts efficiently.
