Harvard Law Seminar on "Forced Arbitration"

The instructor, Deepak Gupta, is a principal at Gupta Wessler PLLC, an appellate boutique in Washington, DC, and a former Senior Counsel at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. "He has represented consumers, workers, and small merchants in key cases on forced arbitration before the U.S. Supreme Court, including AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion and American Express v. Italian Colors" according to the Harvard course description.

For my arguments against the phrase "forced arbitration", see p.43 of The Centrist Case for Enforcing Adhesive Arbitration Agreements, 23 Harvard Negotiation Law Review 29 (2017)
