Topic: Enforcement of Arbitration AgreementsTheodore v. Uber Technologies, Inc., C.A. No. 18-cv-12147 (D. Mass. Mar. 3, 2020)Choose an important case to discuss. Include the history of the law involved, and how the case was significant to the field of law covered in the course. Students should include their own opinions about the case, and may want to include prior cases which affected the case being discussed, as well as subsequent cases which were affected. Be careful to make this a thesis paper, not an expanded case brief.The paper must be no fewer than 3,000 words and no more than 5,000 words. The word count does not include footnote or endnote references.Students may use the casebook, statutory supplements, material acquired from research at a law library or through LexisNexis, any material provided by the school, commercial outlines, etc. All situations and events described in the paper must be assumed to take place or to have taken place in an English common law jurisdiction in the United States. Any details that are part of an actual lawsuit or legal dispute should not be included in the paper if they are in any way considered confidential.The paper must be an original product of the student’s own scholarly work. The sources of any non-original wording must be accurately disclosed and properly referenced. Evidence of originality will be wording that shows that a student is thinking about the legal issues covered in the course; is sufficiently familiar with legal concepts and doctrines of the subject; and is expressing his or her own thoughts and ideas about the sources cited in the paper.Midterm mini thesis papers are routinely run through a plagiarism-checking program.
