American companies, bolstered by Supreme Court rulings, are less innovative in dispute resolution because they have no incentive to develop an alternative to consumer arbitration agreements with their infamous class action waiver provisions.

  1. The next issue of the Dispute Resolution Magazine includes an “International Dispatch” on this topic. Watch for it!
