Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis

Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis is a significant Supreme Court case from 2018 that upheld the legality of arbitration agreements in employment contracts. The Court decided that employers can require employees to settle disputes through individual arbitration rather than allowing them to bring class-action lawsuits. This ruling reinforced the idea that businesses have the right to limit collective legal action, which some argue protects companies from large-scale lawsuits, while critics contend it undermines workers' rights to challenge unfair practices collectively. Essentially, it confirmed that arbitration agreements are enforceable under federal law.
