I am also not a lawyer, and wonder how far arbitration stretches: If an anbiter determines that damages are owed, and the person doesn't pay, does that dealing with that revert to the courts? Who enforces the arbitration -- The police? If an arbiter makes a decision which is clearly illegal, will a court refuse to enforce it?

IANAL but my understanding in my state is that the prevailing party will go to court and file a petition to confirm the arbitration award. The result of that is a judgment that is legally enforceable. Or conversely the loser can petition the court to vacate the arbitration award if they believe it to be unreasonable.
