LEGAL LIVE WITH
Eddie & Chuck Farah
For more than three decades, the Farah brothers have worked to protect victims injured physically from another’s negligent actions. They do so because Jacksonville is home. Clients are friends and neighbors. Because of their willingness to fight for clients, unafraid to go toe-to-toe with even the biggest insurance companies and many a time even spending their own money to do so, they have earned a reputation as being by, and for, the people of Jacksonville. The work ethic built into the practice from the very beginning has allowed the firm to grow from humble beginnings into prominence, with offices throughout Florida and Georgia.

Topic: Employment Law
Practice Area: N/A
Recap from Show: Supreme Court Epic Systems vs. Lewis is important because with employment contracts with arbitration provisions employees are thereby waiving their ability to go to court or to participate in a class-action suit. The Supreme Court says employers are free to use them, they are not unconstitutional, do not block right to due process. Class action allows a large number of like-cases to be sought together. For example, a bunch of employees are all cheated out of $100 so they could band together to have one suit brought against the employer. With arbitration provisions, each employee would have to go after the stolen $100 alone through arbitration, which can be expensive in itself.
