If the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling holds up, that is. Basically, the court found that a clause in AT&T’s (Cingular’s at the time, actually) customer contract forcing customers to arbitrate instead of sue via class action was uncool — “unconscionable under California law” was their exact wording, but you get the idea. We guess AT&T was looking to avoid having to make pesky public statements about lawsuits filed against it, and hey, who can blame ‘em? Nice try, guys! [Warning: PDF link]
