U.S. Supreme Court Reverses Fla. Justices on Arbitration Clause Ruling

In a major victory for business groups, the U.S. Supreme Court held Tuesday that the validity of a contract that includes an arbitration provision must be decided by an arbitrator, not a state judge -- unless what's challenged is the arbitration provision itself.
