Arbitration, itself, is rarely in the
news, or a matter of public controversy. Lately, that’s changed. There’s been a
proliferation of Pre-Dispute Arbitration Agreements (PDAAs) in financial and
consumer agreements, terms of service which can’t be negotiated. Then, there’s
been the Franken Bill, the CFPB’s Arbitration Rule, and the now-successful
effort to set that Rule aside.
This CLE
will address PDAAs from several perspectives: their history, the issues they
present, their use in the financial industry, the consumer aspect, the views of
in-house counsel, and the public policy/political considerations.
This CLE is approved for
credit through January 25, 2020.
