Third Circuit Cites Professor Horton's Article
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third District cited Professor David Horton's 2018 Stanford Law Review article "Arbitration About Arbitration" in Zirpoli v. Midland Funding LLC.
A divided panel held that an arbitrator and not the district court must determine whether class action claims brought against Midland Funding are subject to arbitration.
