THE SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT IS SOLICITING AMICUS BRIEFS OR MEMORANDA FROM INTERESTED PARTIES IN THE FOLLOWING MATTER PENDING BEFORE THE COURT

ARGUMENT IS SCHEDULED FOR FALL 2007.

SJC-09961
Olga St. Fleur v. WPI Cable Systems/Mutron a/k/a Wirepro a/k/a WPI-Boston Division, Inc.

At issue is whether the plaintiff employee may be compelled to arbitrate her employment discrimination claims, where the employee argues that she did not knowingly and voluntarily enter into the (predispute) arbitration agreement.

Interested parties may file their briefs in the Office of the Clerk for the Commonwealth, John Adams Courthouse, Suite 1-400, Pemberton Square, Boston MA 02108-1724 (Telephone 617-557-1020). Parties filing amicus briefs are expected to comply with the requirements of Rules 17, 19 and 20 of Mass. Rules of Appellate Procedure. Amicus briefs, to assist the court, should focus on the ramifications of a decision and not solely on the interests of the parties filing such briefs.
