Summary

You can appeal certain court orders about arbitration. Allowed appeals include orders that refuse to pause a court case, deny requests to start or force arbitration, confirm or undo an arbitration award (or change it), orders about injunctions against arbitration, and final decisions about an arbitration. You cannot appeal some interim orders — those that grant a stay, send a case to arbitration, compel arbitration, or refuse to block arbitration — unless 28 U.S.C. 1292(b) says you can.
