The Federal Arbitration Act creates a strong national policy in favor of enforcing arbitration clauses. The Act states that arbitration clauses will be enforced in all cases where there is a maritimetransaction, or where a contract involves a transaction crossing state lines. However, in cases where the Federal Arbitration Act does not apply, State law determines whether the arbitration clause is enforceable. For example, some courts require that there be a contract for interstate commerce for the Federal Arbitration Act to apply. Thus, if a contract is not covered by the Federal Arbitration Act, State law will determine whether the arbitration clause is enforceable.
