Supreme Court Backs Predatory Lenders
Yesterday the Supreme Court ruled 7-1 that predatory payday lenders can force consumers into arbitration, even if their loans are illegal under state law. It's a poorly-reasoned decision that further limits access to justice. Our previous blog has details on the case Buckeye vs. Cardegna. We were an amicus in the case, which was argued by our colleague Paul Bland of Trial Lawyers for Public Justice.
