Comcast v. Ramsey

Legal Brief

Comcast v. Ramsey

Case: Comcast v. Ramsey 
Court: Supreme Court of the United States 
Date: October 31, 2024 

Question Presented: Does the Federal Arbitration Act preempt the McGill rule?  

Summary: The RLC’s brief supports Comcast’s Petition for Certiorari asking the Court to rule on the ongoing validity of the McGill rule. The brief explains that the judicially created “McGill rule” is yet another California attempt to bypass the Supreme Court’s arbitration precedent and is directly foreclosed by AT&T v. Concepion.   

Counsel: Jessica Ellsworth, Nathaniel Zelinksy, and Ezra Louvis of Hogan Lovells
