Arbitration/Mediation - Converting arbitration award to judgement


Expert: Paul D. Friedman, M.A., Ph.D., J.D. - 8/11/2008

Question
QUESTION: How do I go about getting an arbitration award converted into a judgement in the Superior Court of Arizona, Maricopa County?

ANSWER: It depends on the type of arbitration.  If it is a Court-Ordered Arbitration because the value of the claim was less than $50,000, you submit an Judgment and have it signed.  Then you can record it with the Maricopa County Recorder's Office.

If it was a private arbitration, you need to follow the provisions of the contract.  

Very truly yours,

Paul D. Friedman, M.A., Ph.D., J.D.

---------- FOLLOW-UP ----------

QUESTION: Thanks for your response.  It was compulsory arbitration ordered by the court because the value was less than $50,000.  Where do I obtain the forms to do this (submit a judgement) and who signs it?

Thanks again,
Alyson

Answer
Alyson,

I do not know of any "form".  We turn the "Proposed Form of Award" which should have been signed by the Arbitrator and submit a formal "Judgment" using the same language to be signed by the Judge.  It should be on the same pleading paper as the Proposed Form of Award".  You need to make sure the time has expired for the other side to file an appeal.
