The Future of Arbitration and the World of Class Action Litigation

Litigation Practice Group Teleforum

AT&T v. Concepción is one of the most controversial Supreme Court decisions in many years. Most of the discussion to date has centered on its implications for the future of class action litigation. This panel, however, will examine its implications for the future of arbitration. In particular, our experts will examine the Court's interpretation of the preemptive force of the Federal Arbitration Act and what it means for other state attempts to regulate arbitration. Featuring Prof. Hiro Aragaki of Loyola Law School Los Angeles; Dr. Michael S. Greve of the American Enterprise Institute; Prof. Christopher R. Drahozal of The University of Kansas School of Law; Prof. Peter B. "Bo" Rutledge of the University of Georgia School of Law; and Prof. Brian T. Fitzpatrick of Vanderbilt University Law School as the moderator.
