The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) issued new Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures governing commercial disputes for AAA commercial arbitrations initiated on or after October 1, 2013. Arbitration proceedings filed prior to October 1, 2013 continue to be governed by the Arbitration Rules & Mediation Procedures amended and effective June 1, 2010.
