Professor Horton Speaks Before State Senate Judiciary Committee

Professor David Horton spoke before the California Senate Judiciary Committee on April 22 in support of Senate Bill 82, which bans “infinite” arbitration clauses.

Horton has written on this topic in his highly influential 2020 University of Pennsylvania Law Review article “Infinite Arbitration Clauses” and in the forthcoming Washington University Law Review article “Accidental Arbitration.”
