Topic: Employment Law
Practice Area: N/A
Recap from Show: Supreme Court Epic Systems vs. Lewis is important because with employment contracts with arbitration provisions employees are thereby waiving their ability to go to court or to participate in a class-action suit. The Supreme Court says employers are free to use them, they are not unconstitutional, do not block right to due process. Class action allows a large number of like-cases to be sought together. For example, a bunch of employees are all cheated out of $100 so they could band together to have one suit brought against the employer. With arbitration provisions, each employee would have to go after the stolen $100 alone through arbitration, which can be expensive in itself.
