U.S. Code as of:
01/03/05
Section 9. Award of arbitrators; confirmation; jurisdiction; procedure
If the parties in their agreement have agreed that a judgment of
the court shall be entered upon the award made pursuant to the
arbitration, and shall specify the court, then at any time within
one year after the award is made any party to the arbitration may
apply to the court so specified for an order confirming the award,
and thereupon the court must grant such an order unless the award
is vacated, modified, or corrected as prescribed in sections 10 and
11 of this title. If no court is specified in the agreement of the
parties, then such application may be made to the United States
court in and for the district within which such award was made.
Notice of the application shall be served upon the adverse party,
and thereupon the court shall have jurisdiction of such party as
though he had appeared generally in the proceeding. If the adverse
party is a resident of the district within which the award was
made, such service shall be made upon the adverse party or his
attorney as prescribed by law for service of notice of motion in an
action in the same court. If the adverse party shall be a
nonresident, then the notice of the application shall be served by
the marshal of any district within which the adverse party may be
found in like manner as other process of the court.
