Third Circuit Hears Arguments About Controversial Delaware Chancery Arbitration Program

摘要

One of the most significant open-courts cases in a generation focuses on arbitration. In May, the Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in Delaware Coalition for Open Government (DelCOG) Inc. v. Hon. Leo Strine Jr. The case involves a First Amendment challenge to a unique program established in 2009 by the Delaware Legislature that allows the state's Court of Chancery judges to act as arbitrators in certain disputes.
