Appeals Of Orders Compelling Arbitration In Embedded Proceedings Must Wait - Altman Nursing, Inc. V. Clay Capital Corp., Carla Kemp

Clay Capital Corp. addresses this unresolved issue of whether an order compelling arbitration in the context of an embedded claim can be classified as final and immediately appealable


Rethinking The Constitutionality Of The Supreme Court's Preference For Binding Arbitration: A Fresh Assessment Of Jury Trial, Separation Of Powers, And Due Process Concerns, Jean R. Sternlight Jan 1997

The author next draws on the …

Hirschman argues that the ability to take one's business elsewhere may not be enough to empower consumers in markets where all providers act similarly. Instead of simply going elsewhere, consumers need to have an effective way to voice their complaints, in order to give providers an incentive to be more responsive to consumers' interests. Marc Rodwin has suggested that the Hirschman analysis may be particularly relevant to members of managed-care organizations and ``individuals with …
