FOREWORD

On October 1, 2013, the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) amended its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The amendments were made after a comprehensive review of the Commercial Rules (“Rules”) took place that included obtaining feedback from parties, advocates, neutrals and others knowledgeable about the arbitration process, and which also involved the substantive input of the AAA’s Practice Committee of the Board of Directors.
