SUMMARY:Webinar: Recent Developments in “Mass Arbitrations”
DESCRIPTION:**Program hosted in (ET) Time Zone** \nThis panel will explore recent developments in the administration and management of “mass arbitration” claims.  Faced with provisions in consumer and similar contracts requiring the resolution of disputes through arbitrations on an individual (not class-wide) basis\, plaintiffs have sought to aggregate related claims through “mass arbitration” proceedings.  Such proceedings have created logistical challenges for parties and arbitration providers\, including for respondents required to pay filing fees that sometimes exceed the amounts at issue in the underlying dispute.   Following these developments\, courts have considered when and under what circumstances parties may be subject to consolidated and streamlined arbitration proceedings\, including under procedures and guidelines that arbitration providers have adopted for “mass arbitrations.”  The panel will discuss these developments\, as well as their broader impact on aggregate claims litigation. \nPresented by FBA Annual Meeting & Convention 2025 sponsor JAMS. \nRegister Now!\n\nPresenters\nSteve Lucke serves as a JAMS arbitrator and mediator\, including with respect to the arbitration of disputes involving similar claims brought by consumers.  Prior to joining JAMS\, Steve litigated class action and other complex matters\, including a “mass action” brought against over 300 health plans and their claims administrator that the trial judge described as “perhaps the most complex case pending in [the United States District Court for] the Central District of California.” Steve also teaches Complex Litigation at the University of St. Thomas School of Law. \n  \nThe Hon. Ellen L. Maas (Retired) serves as a JAMS arbitrator and mediator and has helped resolve numerous related\, consumer law disputes. During her 28-year career as a Minnesota District Court Judge\, she routinely was assigned and requested to preside over complex civil litigation matters. In addition to a six-week jury trial that arose from a train collision involving multiple fatalities\, Judge Maas presided over hundreds of product liability\, employment\, professional liability\, and consumer law matters. While in private practice\, Judge Maas had an active trial practice in the areas of toxic tort\, product liability\, negligence\, employment and municipal liability\, and insurance coverage. \n  \nBehdad Sadeghi is a partner at Zimmerman Reed LLP.  His practice focuses on plaintiff side representation of individuals and public entities in consumer fraud\, data privacy\, and civil rights disputes. He has litigated numerous mass arbitration cases from initiation to conclusion with JAMS\, AAA\, and NAM\, involving relief for tens of thousands of claimants. He also has experience litigating the enforceability of arbitration provisions in federal courts. \n  \nCollin Vierra is a partner at Eimer Stahl LLP and Chair of the firms Mass Arbitration\, and Data Privacy and AI\, practice groups.
