AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion

AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion was a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case decided in 2011. It upheld the validity of arbitration agreements that included clauses preventing customers from filing class-action lawsuits. The Court ruled that such agreements are enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act, emphasizing that states cannot impose their own rules that would undermine arbitration. This decision favored businesses by making it harder for consumers to challenge companies collectively, reinforcing the use of arbitration as a means of resolving disputes outside the court system.
