I am pleased to post this on behalf of Prof. David Horton (UC Davis Law):

Dear Colleagues,

I hope the end of the semester is treating you well.  As you may have heard, Judge Rakoff recently issued an important opinion finding that a plaintiff did not assent to an arbitration clause in Uber’s Terms of Service.  See Meyer v. Kalanick, — F.3d –, No. 15 CIV. 9796, 2016 WL 4073012 (S.D.N.Y. July 29, 2016).  Uber has appealed.  Nancy Kim and I have written an amicus brief that urges the Second Circuit to affirm the district court’s decision, and we are seeking additional signatories.  If you might be interested, please email either me (dohorton@ucdavis.edu) or Nancy (nsk@cwsl.edu) no later than Monday, November 21.  We can send you the brief and any other information you might want.  Thanks very much for your consideration.

David
