- Determining Unconscionability Under West Virginia Law
The 4th Circuit held that an adhesion contract requiring employees to arbitrate statutory claims was not made unenforceable under West Virginia law simply because employees had given up their right to a jury trial in state court. To prove unconscionability making the clause unenforceable requires proof that the arbitration clause limited the employees' rights to recover under state law. However, the court held that an individual required to arbitrate statutory claims does not lose the right to recovery under the state law but rather substitutes a judicial forum for an arbitral one.

- The Coercion of Trafficked Workers
Theories of coercion exist across multiple disciplines to explicate the ability of one actor, the coercer, to diminish the free will of another, the coercee, in the absence of overt physical force. A valid claim of coercion places legal blame on the coercer or relinquishes the coercee from legal responsibility for a coerced act or omission. Defining the point at which coercion occurs, however, is the conceptually more difficult task. Recently, coercion has emerged as a significant source of analytic concern in a developing area of the law-contemporary involuntary labor or human trafficking. It is in this setting where coercion is explicitly codified as a fundamental legal element in human-trafficking crimes. However, the laws addressing human trafficking continue to struggle with deline...
