The Future of Class Action Waivers: An Up-to-the-Minute Report on the Supreme Court Argument in Murphy Oil

The Supreme Court will hear arguments on October 2 in Murphy Oil and its consolidated cases. In what many expect to be the most important employment case this year, the Court will decide whether class action waivers in employment arbitration agreements are enforceable. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) held that they were not in its controversial D.R. Horton decision in 2012. Most federal appellate courts have rejected the NLRB’s view, but several have accepted it, creating a circuit split. Now the Supreme Court will finally resolve the question. Join the Ogletree Deakins attorneys who successfully convinced the Fifth Circuit to vacate the NLRB’s D.R. Horton decision and who will attend the Supreme Court’s oral argument in person for a report on the Court’s argument and their prediction as to how the Court will rule.
