Arbitration clauses have become standard in contracts governing a variety
of agreements, including consumer contracts and employment contracts.
In recent years, arbitration provisions have been challenged, often successfully.
The alternatives to arbitration clauses however, may present even greater
problems for employees, consumers, and others. This audio
program looks at how arbitration clauses work, why they raise concerns,
how the courts have ruled on their legality, and what dispute mechanisms
are being proposed to take their place.
