Can a California law requiring the state's labor commissioner to oversee contracts take priority over the Federal Arbitration Act's enforcement requirements? This preemption issue will be argued before the U.S. Supreme Court this month. Michael E. Johnson and Piret Loone , of New York, analyze the issues before the Court, discuss the key precedent likely to affect the outcome, and make a prediction. Also included is a sidebar summarizing the four amicus views.
