Supremes Grant Cert In Commerical Arbitration Case That Has Labor Implications
Workplace Prof Blog reported on Jan. 18, 2010 that the Supremes granted cert in a commercial arbitration case that has labor law implications. The issue is who has the authority to rule on the issue of mandatory arbitration clauses being unconscionable. The 9th Circuit ruled 2-1 last September that a court, not an arbitrator, should have ruled on the issue of unconscionability. The case below is Jackson v. Rent-A-Center ___F.3d____(9th Cir. 2009).
