Rules for Mass Individual Arbitrations

 Arbitration agreements precluding class actions or classwide arbitrations have become common since the Supreme Court's Concepcion case. This has led some enterprising plaintiffs' lawyers to file many virtually identical arbitration cases on behalf of a group of consumers or employees.

The American Arbitration Association now has rules to address such multiple case filings.

The International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution (CPR) also has rules for such mass employment claims.
