Supreme Court to Hear AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion Today

The U. S. Supreme Court will hear AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion, 09-893, a class-wide arbitration case from the 9^th Circuit, today. In the case, the Court is asked to consider whether the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) preempts states from conditioning enforcement of an arbitration agreement on the availability of particular procedures when those procedures are not necessary to ensure that the parties to the arbitration agreement are able to vindicate their claims.

A preview of the case is available here (from ScotusBlog). Case briefs and documents may be viewed here (from ScotusBlog).

Disputing will provide a detailed account of the argument tomorrow. Our previous posts about the case can be read here, here, here, here and here.
