Halliburton Arbitration Clause Update – Texas Court Shuts the Doors to Justice

March 14th, 2008 by John Campbell

Holding that, “[s]adly, sexual harassment, up to and including sexual assault, is a reality in today’s workplace,” a federal judge enforced a Halliburton arbitration clause that required employees to bring all claims in arbitration.  (To read more click here) A few months ago I wrote a post about a woman who was sexually assaulted in Iraq and who is likely to be subjected to arbitration rather than to have her day in court. (read it by clicking here)   This decision is a bad sign for that case. 

Attorneys, along with all citizens, must continue to stand up for their right to access to the jury system provided for in our United States Constitution. Arbitration clauses, unilaterally enforced prior to dispute, pose a serious risk to citizens’ civil rights.
