Mark your calendars! The ABA Section of Dispute Resolution presents The Future of Mandatory Arbitration: A Conversation About Dodd-Frank and the Arbitration Fairness Act. The live teleconference will be held on Tuesday, February 8, 2011 from 12:00 – 1:15 pm EST.
According to the brochure,
Last year Congress passed Dodd-Frank, a bill that ushered in sweeping reform in the financial services industry. This bill directs the SEC to decide whether or not to eliminate mandatory arbitration. For several years, Congress has considered the Arbitration Fairness Act which could eliminate mandatory arbitration in all consumer disputes. The landscape is unclear and debate is heated. Join us while experts in this area discuss the future of mandatory arbitration in the securities industry and beyond.
Joan Stearns Johnsen, Visiting Assistant Clinical Professor at Albany Law School will moderate. Speakers include:
- Kenneth Crowley, Executive Director of UBS Financial Services Inc., Weehawken, NJ.
- Theodore G. Eppenstein of Eppenstein and Eppenstein, PLLC, New York, NY.
- Stephen J. Ware, Professor of Law at the University of Kansas School of Law.
The course brochure is available here. You may register until Friday, February 4, 2011 via mail, fax or online.
