SCOPE NOTE 

After the arbitration has been concluded and an award is issued, the prevailing party will likely attempt to collect or enforce the award. The losing party, on the other hand, may be dissatisfied and want to vacate, modify, or correct the award. In either case, chances are that one of the parties will attempt to raise one or more issues related to the award before a court. This chapter discusses how the parties should proceed after an award has been entered. 

Section 11.02 discusses jurisdiction, forum, and venue issues that will come into play if one of the parties attempts to enforce, modify, or vacate the award.  

Section 11.03 discusses enforcement of the award and covers the procedures available for reducing the award to judgment through the court—i.e., confirmation under the Federal Arbitration Act and state arbitration acts. 

Section 11.04 explores the ability of a party dissatisfied with an award to have it corrected, modified, or vacated and the relevant procedural requirements.
