    Liveblogging The House Judiciary Subcommittee Hearing On The Arbitration Fairness Act

    Consumers may finally escape from the clutches of mandatory binding arbitration if the House Judiciary Committee smiles favorably today upon the Arbitration Fairness Act. Arbitrators rule against consumers in more than 98% of all disputes; the Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law is currently meeting to consider H.R. 3010, which would restore consumers' rights to resolve disputes fairly and openly.

    Today's hearing will feature two panels. Four separate law firms will testify, along with the American Arbitration Association and Public Citizen. Join us as we struggle to interpret the Committee's legalese - which may prove just as futile as binding arbitration.
