An Austin Magistrate Judge has recommended that a race discrimination lawsuit brought by a former J.C. Penney employee be submitted to arbitration.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court of Texas overturned a panel’s unanimous arbitration award because the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) wrongfully disqualified one party’s selected arbitrator.
