Prof. Glover is the author of the first major academic study of mass arbitration, which is soon to be published as a law review article. In Part I of this two-part podcast, after reviewing the historical background of the Federal Arbitration Act, key SCOTUS arbitration decisions, and the evolution of mass arbitration, Prof. Glover discusses the findings of her case study, the legal viability of mass arbitration, investments being made by the plaintiffs’ bar in the use of mass arbitration, and the how arbitration administrators are responding to mass arbitration.

Ballard Spahr Senior Counsel Alan Kaplinsky hosts the conversation.
