The Ten Arbitration Trends Of 2017
Liz Kramer, writing in Stinson Leonard Street’s Arbitration Nation blog, provides a rundown of the top 10 developments in arbitration law during the past year.
“2017 was a big year in arbitration law,” she writes. “We went from a country that seemed on the verge of banning arbitration in most consumer and employee contracts to a country whose federal policy embraces arbitration in nearly every context.”
Among the trends she discusses are cases on regulation reversal, preemption, the NLRB, small claims court confusion, statutory preclusion, non-signatories getting divergent results, and more.
