Parents of a disabled child prevailed in a suit filed under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and sought to recover the costs of expert witnesses under the IDEA fee shifting provision.

While litigation is criticized as being expensive and time-consuming, costs associated with arbitration are far from inconsequential. If the parties have waived their right to go to court, even in situations in which fees and costs may be awarded to the prevailing party, and if arbitration costs are cost-prohibitive, could there be a defense to the arbitration contract on grounds of unconcionability?
