Attorneys representing consumers have for many years sought to escape mandatory arbitration clauses in contracts, arguing that the arbitration system inherently and unfairly favors corporate defendants. In the wake of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act as well as recent scandals, including revelations of fraud at Wells Fargo Bank, policymakers and public interest advocates have joined the fight against arbitration.
