Please join ACS for a film screening, discussion, refreshments, and networking.

In our democracy, the courts hold out the promise of safeguarding everyone, regardless of wealth and power. But that fundamental promise of equal justice under law is facing a severe threat. Buried in everyday agreements for products, services, and jobs is fine print saying when you are harmed, you can’t go before an impartial jury or judge. Instead, these forced arbitration clauses send you to a decision-maker picked by the company that wronged you. Not surprisingly, one study found that arbitrators rule for companies over consumers 94 percent of the time. And you’re stuck with their decision because there’s no appeal. It’s a rigged system that helps companies evade responsibility for violating anti-discrimination, consumer protection, and public health laws.

Narrated by former U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, AFJ’s new short documentary Lost in the Fine Print tells the story of three everyday people who found themselves trapped in this system—and the impact of forced arbitration on their lives and livelihoods.

Lost in the Fine Print is a game-changer. It demystifies the concept of forced arbitration, and urges us to demand change. After the screening, we invite you to participate in a conversation about this critical issue and learn about how we can all stand up to reclaim core democratic principles.

Featured Speakers:

Michelle D. Schwartz, Director of Justice Programs, Alliance for Justice N. Alex Winslow, Executive Director, Texas Watch Javier Espinoza, The Espinoza Law Firm
