Practical concerns affecting the arbitration of statutory claims
Article Abstract:
The arbitration of statutory employment claims is supported by the US Supreme Court decision in Gilmer v. Interstate/Johnson Lane Corp., but attorneys should be aware of relevant practicalities when choosing between litigation and arbitration. Arbitration is suited for cases involving little discovery. The process for arbitration should be negotiated before arbitration begins. A neutral arbitrator is mandatory. All remedies available under statutory law should be available under arbitration.
