Why Should You Attend:

Given the numerous advantages of arbitration over litigation, many employers choose to enter into what are known as “arbitration agreements” with their employees.

There exists a liberal federal policy favoring arbitration, but a particular provision in the Federal Arbitration Act- or the FAA- known as the “savings clause”- permits agreements to arbitrate to be invalidated. In recent years California state courts have aggressively employed the FAA’s “savings clause” to invalidate arbitration contracts between employers and their employees.

This course will help you determine whether arbitration is right for you and whether the arbitration clause in your employment agreement passes muster.
