    It’s impressive how FedSoc cranks out these teleforums on a weekly basis, covering a wide variety of topics with an array of speakers. I can almost never jump on a phone for the actual calls so I appreciate these podcasts. Fantastic series.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Litigation Update: Kloosterman v. Metropolitan Hospital
Q: Was this more of a bilateral arbitration agreement or was it more of a unilaterally imposed employer policy?
It was a typical adhesion contract presented by the employer, which is common. While this raises questions about consent, challenging it under unconscionability is generally difficult for plaintiffs.
Litigation Update: Kloosterman v. Metropolitan Hospital
Q: Did the defendants move for arbitration in an attempt to avoid precedent here?
It is likely they did not move to arbitrate solely to avoid precedent, as defendants can't wait to see how a case is going and then switch to arbitration just because their case isn't going well.
Litigation Update: Kloosterman v. Metropolitan Hospital
Q: How could a pro-arbitration ruling be immediately appealable as opposed to a non-final interlocutory order?
The hospital's motion to arbitrate was styled as a motion for summary judgment, which was odd because we hadn't done any discovery. However, because of that, and the court dismissing the case, it was considered a final order, allowing appeal.
Religious Arbitration, Family Law, and Constitutional Limits in Texas
Q: Won't the Federal Arbitration Act preempt all state law reporting to ban religious arbitration?
There are secular principles that could limit arbitration if there's evidence of discrimination, but generally, arbitration is favored in the American legal system.
2025 Ron Rotunda Memorial Webinar
Q: Do you think that relates to what we're talking about with regard to rule of law?
There's a delicate balance between ensuring judicial accountability and preserving impartiality, and one must address the perceived politicization of judiciary roles.
