Whack-A-Mole: The New State Law Arguments Popping Up To Invalidate Arbitration Agreements

Event Description

 

 

Liz Kramer, a partner at Stinson Leonard Street and author of the award-winning blog ArbitrationNation ( www.arbitrationnation.com), will present on recent arbitrability decisions from state courts around the country.  Section Two of the Federal Arbitration Act says arbitration agreements are enforceable to the same extent as other contracts under state law.  But the U.S. Supreme Court has narrowed the potential state law arguments for invalidating arbitration agreements in recent years.  What is left?  Find out what creative litigants and courts are doing to get out of arbitration.
