This is intended to ensure that individuals are not coerced or misled into agreeing to arbitration. Furthermore, the bill includes provisions to increase transparency in arbitration proceedings. This includes requiring arbitrators to disclose any conflicts of interest and ensuring that arbitration decisions are made publicly available. Overall, the Arbitration Fairness Act aims to promote fairness and accountability in arbitration proceedings by addressing concerns about pre-dispute agreements, voluntary consent, and transparency. It is intended to protect the rights of individuals in consumer, employment, antitrust, and civil rights disputes.
