SCOTUS on Arbitration: Developments and Trends Forcing Litigators to Think and Strategize Differently
Enforcement of Arbitration Clauses Against Nonsignatories, Escalation Clauses, Role of AI and Machine Learning, Strategies
Welcome! Strafford is now BARBRI! The expert courses you know from the trusted global leader in legal education.
Description
The U.S. Supreme Court continues to issue decisions that are of significant importance to the shape and conduct of arbitrations and raise questions on issues such as privacy, time, cost, flexibility, settlement, and finality.
For example, the Court recently held that non-signatories can be forced into arbitration and also compelled to arbitrate. GE Energy Power Conversion France SAS Corp. v. Outokumpu Stainless USA L.L.C., __ U.S. __ (2020). Escalation clauses continue to raise questions about jurisdiction and admissibility.
Artificial intelligence is predicted to be a game changer by allowing parties to predict how arbitrators will rule on a global basis, which means that the decisions/awards now have value as a data asset, a development some contend will make arbitration less private.
Listen as our authoritative panel discusses recent developments, evolving issues, and trends in arbitration, as well as how these will affect litigators and litigation strategy.
