Sheppard, Mullin, Richter and Hampton, LLP v. J-M Manufacturing Co., Inc.

(Supreme Court of California) - Held that a dispute over legal fees should not have been submitted to arbitration because the arbitration clause in the parties' agreement was unenforceable.

The high court also held that the conflicts waiver the client signed was ineffective.
