While the United States Supreme Court has made clear that class action waivers in arbitration clauses can be enforced, plaintiffs’ counsel continue to find creative ways to challenge these types of arbitration agreements. Last month, in a 2-1 decision, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit reversed a district court victory for Branch Banking & Trust (the “Bank”) and ruled that the Bank could not compel arbitration of its customers’ putative class action because the Bank’s unilateral changes to its terms and conditions were insufficient to create an enforceable arbitration agreement.

A decision on the legality of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program could come under a Joe Biden administration after a U.S. federal judge in Houston heard arguments on Tuesday in the Texas lawsuit.

Fifty years ago, Orangeburg County initiated an educational system that completely changed the course of the social side of life for the people both Black and white.
While the United States Supreme Court rendered its decision on segregated schools in 1954, South Carolina and Orangeburg County delayed full desegregation until the 1970 school year when the last appeal was denied.
That year was the beginning of school consolidation for Orangeburg County.
In 1963, the first Blacks enrolled into the all-white schools in the City of Orangeburg.
Then in 1964, Orangeburg began operating under a âfreedom of choiceâ plan. The separate but equal facilities for the Blacks and for the whites gave way, slowly but surely, to an integrated system of consolidating the schools.
