Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
17-1470 9th Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2018

Issue: (1) Whether a California rule that prohibits the enforcement of arbitration agreements with respect to representative employment claims under California"s Private Attorneys General Act, and that is applied to no other type of agreement, is pre-empted by the Federal Arbitration Act because the rule discriminates against arbitration agreements; and (2) whether a California rule that prohibits the enforcement of arbitration agreements with respect to representative employment claims under California's Private Attorneys General Act is pre-empted by the FAA because the rule eviscerates bilateral arbitration agreements and thereby thwarts the objectives of the FAA.
