The Class Defense Blog, published by Mayer Brown, focuses on developments and issues related to arbitration, particularly consumer and employment arbitration rules. It covers topics such as changes to arbitration procedures by the American Arbitration Association, strategies to address mass arbitrations, and legal defenses against claims under statutes like the Video Privacy Protection Act. The blog also discusses the use of bellwether proceedings in arbitration to manage mass claims and provides commentary on regulatory and procedural updates affecting arbitration fairness and efficiency. It serves as a resource for understanding arbitration trends, rule amendments, and litigation strategies in class and mass arbitration contexts.
