Today, April 26, 2010 the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on Rent-A-Center West v. Jackson.

The transcript is here.

Question Presented:

Is the district court required in all cases to determine claims that an arbitration agreement subject to the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) is unconscionable, even when the parties to the contract have clearly and unmistakably assigned this “gateway” issue to the arbitrator for decision?
