The American Arbitration Association (AAA), a global leader in alternative dispute resolution (ADR), has announced the launch of its Resolution Simulator. This new tool leverages the same AI technology as the AAA's AI Arbitrator to provide legal teams with a simulated, non-binding decision on how an arbitrator might resolve a dispute. The Resolution Simulator is designed to help parties understand potential outcomes, develop legal strategies, and identify the best path to resolution, all while maintaining the fairness and transparency that defines the AAA's dispute resolution services.

Why it matters

The Resolution Simulator responds to growing demand from legal teams for practical tools to evaluate disputes, especially in the early stages. By providing AI-generated insights into how an arbitrator might rule, the tool empowers parties to make more informed decisions about settlement, mediation, or proceeding to formal arbitration proceedings.

The details

The Resolution Simulator is designed for single-party use in documents-only commercial and construction disputes. Users can submit their case materials, and the tool will provide an explainable, informational simulated decision based on the AI Arbitrator's structured legal reasoning and analysis. This can help parties understand their potential exposure, develop negotiation strategies, and align internally with clients or counsel.

  • The Resolution Simulator was launched on March 4, 2026.
