Arbitration Fairness Act

The Arbitration Fairness Act is a proposed U.S. law aimed at making arbitration more fair and transparent, especially for consumers and employees. It seeks to limit the use of mandatory arbitration clauses in contracts, which often prevent individuals from taking disputes to court. Instead, it would allow people to choose whether to settle issues through arbitration or in court. The goal is to ensure that consumers and workers have a fair chance to resolve their grievances without being forced into potentially biased arbitration processes that benefit larger corporations.
