§13 — Title 9 Arbitration | U.S. Code

Summary

When a party asks the court to confirm, change, or correct an arbitration award, they must file certain papers with the court clerk at the same time they file the request for judgment. Those papers include the arbitration agreement, any appointment of an extra arbitrator or umpire and any written time extensions, the award itself, and all notices, affidavits, or other papers used in the request plus copies of any court orders about it. The court will enter that judgment on its docket like a regular court judgment. The judgment has the same legal power, is subject to the same rules, and can be enforced the same way as any other judgment entered in that court.
