Delaware arbitration update

The Delaware Coalition for Open Government has filed its brief in the appeal before the Third Circuit.  (DELCOG-Appellee's Brief).  They make two arguments in response to Delaware's appeal, first:

Delaware’s inability to provide confidential binding judicial arbitration will not cause a mass exodus from American private arbitration to foreign courts or arbitration, which have no claim to expertise in American business law or custom greater than American private arbitrators.

And second:

Neither Delaware’s desire to facilitate new revenue streams nor the business community’s desire to hide its conduct from public scrutiny justifies subverting the First Amendment.

I think counsel for the Coalition are right on both counts. More updates on this litigation as they pop up.
