House Judiciary Committee Hearing on Arbitration

The U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee is having a hearing today on arbitration in consumer contracts. There is finally some movement afoot to amend the Federal Arbitration Act to restrict its applicability in the consumer context. Leading the way for the good guys (the consumers and employees) is the very able Paul Bland of Public Justice (formerly Trial Lawyers for Public Justice.) Paul, Paul, he's our man, if he can't do it no one can.
