Each year, there are dozens of petitions to confirm or vacate arbitration awards filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York under the Federal Arbitration Act (the act). Many of these petitions invoke the federal court's diversity jurisdiction by asserting an amount-in-controversy over $75,000. See 28 U.S.C 1332(a). The U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Badgerow v. Walters, 596 U.S. 1 (2022) has made it less predictable whether federal courts will find the amount-in-controversy requirement for diversity jurisdiction has been satisfied.
