Problem
The oral argument that you will be listening to is AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion (AT&T). The issue is whether the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) preempts states from conditioning the enforcement of an arbitration agreement on the availability of class-wide arbitration procedures?
Specific Instructions
Compare AT&T to Lhotka v. Geographic Expeditions, Inc. (Lhotka) which you should look up online, and discuss whether you think the United States Supreme Court decided AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion in agreement with Lhotka.
To listen to the oral argument from AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion you can go to the Oyez Project website at us.oyez.org/cases, or the United States Supreme Court's website at www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/argument_audio.aspx . Note: the oral arguments are available as audio only as cameras are not allowed inside the United States Supreme Court courtroom, so there is not any video.
Task
