Arbitration columnists Samuel Estreicher and Holly H. Weiss discuss 'Kindred Nursing Centers Limited Partnership v. Clark,' which presents the U.S. Supreme Court with an opportunity either to reinforce that arbitration agreements are to be enforced to the same extent as other agreements or to take a different tack, permitting state courts to make decisions that limit the enforceability of arbitration agreements, perhaps giving special recognition to the nursing home context and the limits of powers of attorney agreements in that context.

In their Arbitration column, Samuel Estreicher, a professor at New York University School of Law and of counsel to Schulte Roth & Zabel, and Holly H.
