Naya [18.7K]

After the federal government was established in Washington D.C, the court was placed in the United States Capitol, in a small place in the basement. As the senate expanded and progressively occupied more spaces, the court had to move from one room to another within the capitol on two occasions: first in 1810, to the chamber that left the senate, a space that had to share "with other courts, like the Circuit Court of the United States, and the Orphans Court of the district of Columbia". And again in 1860, when It moved to the today called   "Old senate chamber", where it remained until its current location.

The contract law of the United States of America covers the regulation of obligations agreed through contracts (written or unwritten) between private persons. The contractual law on the sale of goods has been standardized throughout the nation as a result of the adoption of the Uniform Commercial Code of the United States. However, there is still significant diversity in the interpretation of other types of contracts, depending on the degree of Common Law codification in each state and the adoption of the doctrine and jurisprudence on the matter.

Under the United States Federal Arbitration Act (which has been interpreted to cover all contracts born under federal or state law), arbitration clauses are exercisable unless the party opposing arbitration can prove unconstitutionality, fraud or any cause of nullity of the contract itself.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is the generic term with which in the United States reference is made to the informal resolution of disputes between two parties in conflict through the intervention of a third party that helps them to resolve the dispute without resorting to the procedures provided by procedural way.
