On March 31, a new amicus brief has been filed with the U.S. Supreme Court on the case Rent-A-Center, West v. Jackson, Docket No. 09-497 (read our previous post here). The case is scheduled to be argued on April 26.
The new brief filed by professional arbitrators and arbitration scholars in support of the respondent, argues that the question of whether an arbitration agreement is unconscionable should be decided by a court, not an arbitrator.
