REGULATING DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISIONS IN ADHESION CONTRACTS

A number of recent Supreme Court decisions regarding the eaforceabilit y of forum selection and choice of law provisions have diluted the sub stantive rights of franchisees, employees, and consumers by precluding the litigation of their claims in the forum of their choice under law s designed to protect them. In this Statute, Professor Carrington prop oses legislation to ensure that these claims are not diverted to incon venient fora by judicial enforcement of dictated form contracts. The p roposed Stature would limit the enforcement of forum selection and cho ice of law provisions to those contained in contracts conforming with standard contract and choice of law doctrine.
