arbitration court
A non-state court appointed by the parties involved to make a binding decision in a legal dispute. It is often used in business or sports matters to avoid lengthy state court proceedings.
Die beiden Unternehmen einigten sich darauf, ihren Vertragsstreit vor einem Schiedsgericht zu klären.
The two companies agreed to settle their contract dispute before an arbitration court.
The word consists of 'Schieds-' and 'Gericht' (court). The part 'Schieds-' comes from the old verb 'scheiden', which here means 'entscheiden' (to decide) or 'schlichten' (to mediate/settle). A 'Schiedsgericht' (arbitration court) is therefore a court that settles a dispute.
Das internationale Schiedsgericht tagt in Den Haag.
The international arbitration court meets in The Hague.
Common verbs in this context are 'ein Schiedsgericht anrufen' (to appeal to an arbitration court) or 'sich auf ein Schiedsgericht einigen' (to agree on an arbitration court). Disputes are heard 'vor einem Schiedsgericht' (before an arbitration court).
Die Parteien konnten sich nicht einigen und riefen ein Schiedsgericht an.

This word belongs to the technical language of law and business. It is rarely used in everyday speech, except in reports about business or sports disputes.
