By Robert J. Ambrogi

This week on the legal-affairs podcast <a href="http://legaltalknetwork.com/podcasts/lawyer-2-lawyer/2009/08/credit-card-consumers-arbitration/">Lawyer2Lawyer</a>, we look at the controversy over mandatory arbitration of consumer credit-card disputes. Here is the description of this week's show from the <a href="http://legaltalknetwork.com/podcasts/lawyer-2-lawyer/2009/08/credit-card-consumers-arbitration/">Legal Talk Network</a>, where you can listen to or download the complete program:<br /><blockquote>Mandatory arbitration in credit card agreements are in the legal spotlight again after the Minnesota Attorney General recently sued the largest national arbitration firm, National Arbitration Forum. That resulted in a settlement shutting down part of NAF's business and has raised questions about the outcomes of arbitration versus action in civil court for consumers.
