Heading: Scope of Review of Arbitrators' Awards

Text: 12 It is well-settled that judicial review of arbitration awards is narrowly limited and that an arbitration award will not be set aside unless it is completely irrational or evidences a manifest disregard for law. E.g., Barbier v. Sherson Lehman Hutton, Inc., 948 F.2d 117, 120 (2d Cir.1991) (Barbier ); Todd Shipyards Corp. v. Cunard Line, Ltd., 943 F.2d 1056, 1060 (9th Cir.1991) (Todd Shipyards ); General Tel. Co. v. Communications Workers of America, 648 F.2d 452, 457 (6th Cir.1981) (Communications Workers ) (Reviewing courts should be extremely reluctant to substitute their interpretation of the agreement for that of the arbitrator.).
