Plain-English Summary

The proposal would protect people's right to have their civil lawsuits decided by a jury rather than a judge alone, and would limit the ability of companies to force customers and employees into private arbitration instead of court. This affects everyday Americans involved in disputes over contracts, workplace issues, or consumer complaints who would gain the option to have their case heard publicly by a jury of their peers.
