United States Arbitration Act

Read a random definition: South Carolina

A quick definition of United States Arbitration Act:

United States Arbitration Act: The United States Arbitration Act, also known as the Federal Arbitration Act (USAA), is a law that governs the use of arbitration as a method of resolving disputes in the United States. Arbitration is a process where a neutral third party, called an arbitrator, listens to both sides of a dispute and makes a decision that is binding on both parties. The USAA provides guidelines for the use of arbitration in various types of disputes, including commercial, labor, and consumer disputes.

A more thorough explanation:

The United States Arbitration Act, also known as the Federal Arbitration Act (USAA), is a federal law that governs the use of arbitration in commercial disputes. It was enacted in 1925 and has been amended several times since then.

Arbitration is a process in which a neutral third party, called an arbitrator, hears both sides of a dispute and makes a decision that is binding on both parties. The USAA provides a framework for the enforcement of arbitration agreements and awards.

For example, if two companies have a contract that includes an arbitration clause, and they have a dispute over the terms of the contract, they can use the USAA to enforce the arbitration clause and have an arbitrator make a decision on the dispute.

The USAA has been the subject of some controversy, with some critics arguing that it favors corporations over consumers and employees. However, supporters of the law argue that it provides a faster and less expensive alternative to traditional litigation.

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

Ahh, got it. Thank you for the insight!

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
