Deadline to
Register: December 10, 2017
Please note that the Section Business Meeting starts at 12 noon and
the CLE is at 12:15 pm.
Lunch is brown bag. Refreshments will be provided,
however.
Arbitration, itself, is rarely in the news, or a matter of
public controversy. Lately, that’s changed. There’s been a proliferation of
Pre-Dispute Arbitration Agreements (PDAAs) in financial and consumer agreements,
terms of service which can’t be negotiated. Then, there’s been the Franken Bill,
the CFPB’s Arbitration Rule, and the now-successful effort to set that Rule
aside.
This CLE will address PDAAs from several perspectives:
their history, the issues they present, their use in the financial industry, the
consumer aspect, the views of in-house counsel, and the public policy/political
considerations.
For the ADR Section, this is an unusually hot topic—don’t
miss it!
