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. Weiss, a partner at Schulte Roth, write: The Second Circuit has extended the Supreme Court's pro-arbitration jurisprudence to the labor and employment context through 'Parisi,' 'Sutherland,' and 'Raniere.' Employers and employees can expect courts in this circuit routinely to uphold arbitration agreements that, while they preclude class or collective actions, authorize the arbitrator to apply statutory law and statutory remedies for any violation and do not impose high arbitral forum or arbitrator fees.
