Summary

When someone files an order asking the court to confirm, change, or fix an arbitration award and asks the clerk to enter judgment, they must also give the clerk three things at the same time: the arbitration agreement and any papers about adding an arbitrator or extending the time to make the award; the award itself; and every notice, affidavit, or other paper used in the request plus any court orders about it. The court will record the judgment like a regular lawsuit judgment, and it will have the same power and can be enforced the same way.

Title 9, §13

Arbitration, Source: USLM XML via OLRC

The party moving for an order confirming, modifying, or correcting an award shall, at the time such order is filed with the clerk for the entry of judgment thereon, also file the following papers with the clerk:

(a)The agreement; the selection or appointment, if any, of an additional arbitrator or umpire; and each written extension of the time, if any, within which to make the award.

(b)The award.

(c)Each notice, affidavit, or other paper used upon an application to confirm, modify, or correct the award, and a copy of each order of the court upon such an application. The judgment shall be docketed as if it was rendered in an action. The judgment so entered shall have the same force and effect, in all respects, as, and be subject to all the provisions of law relating to, a judgment in an action; and it may be enforced as if it had been rendered in an action in the court in which it is entered.
