“Arbitration Fairness Day” is today (see background here and here).
O. Russel Murray wrote an interesting analysis on the Arbitration Fairness Act of 2009 (a.k.a. H.R. 1020; the status of the bill is here). He acknowledges that there have been some problems with mandatory arbitration within the context of employment, consumer, franchises, and civil right claims. However, Mr. Murray believes that the Arbitration Fairness Act might be worse than the problems it tries to address.
