"Forcing these cases into secretive courts — essentially private courtrooms shielded from public view — makes it harder to hold companies or individuals accountable when they violate workers' civil rights." #EndForcedArbitration axios.com/2023/05/05/rac…

We are disappointed that SCOTUS denied the petition we filed for the daughter of Ryan Stokes, who was unarmed and surrendering when an officer shot him from behind without warning. As Justice Sotomayor explains, the Court’s silence speaks volumes. supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf…

Trying to teach the Fifth Circuit’s Article III standing doctrine as if it reflects consistent application of neutral doctrinal principles is … increasingly impossible.

Reminder that forced arbitration is not a fair process. In fact, it is often the case that the arbitrator is selected and paid for by the corporation. It's just plain wrong. It's time to #EndForcedArbitration.
