McCutchen v. Harris
Petition for certiorari denied on January 13, 2014
Issue: Whether the Federal Arbitration Act preempts a state-law rule that forbids arbitration of state-law employment-discrimination claims unless an arbitration agreement "clearly and specifically" refers to those claims, even when the parties agree to arbitrate "any legal disputes . . . which arise out of, or are related in any way to" the "employment . . . or its termination."
