Resolving the Arbitration Dispute in Today's Legal Landscape
Friday, April 7, 2017 | 9:00 AM EDT - 4:30 PM EDT
Rutgers Institute for Professional Education and the Rutgers University Law Review present this symposium, which will examine the law of private dispute resolution with a focus on current legal disputes and practice. The symposium will cover a wide range of legal areas, including employment law, labor law, administrative law, consumer finance law, health law, and aggregate litigation. Specifically, the symposium will delve into (i) whether class-action waivers in employment contracts are unconscionable and invalid; (ii) whether the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will use its broad power to remedy the problem of allegedly unconscionable consumer credit contracts; (iii) what the scope of private dispute resolution is in the metropolitan area and what the costs and benefits to private dispute resolution are vis-á-vis the judicial system; and (iv) whether the Federal Arbitration Act can preempt state-law tort claims, especially those alleging negligence in nursing homes. Also to be considered will be recently decided circuit cases, as well as cases currently pending in front of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Topics include panel discussions concerning:
Panel 1 | National Labor Relations Board and Class-Action Waivers
Panel 2 | The Issue of FAA Preemption: An As-Applied Look at Nursing Home Arbitration
Panel 3 | Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Rulemaking and Consumer Arbitration Clauses
Panel 4 | Alternative Dispute Resolution in Practice
