Spizzirri, No. 22-1218, 601 U.S. __ (May 16, 2024), that the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) requires district courts to stay litigation subject to a potential arbitration, rather than dismiss such claims.

I have a friend – let’s call her “Shangela” – who struggles with empathy with her family. It’s easy to empathize with strangers, but with her family, it sometimes comes out a little bit like this:“If they’d only listen to my advice, they could avoid these issues they’re having.” “If that guy makes you cry, I’m gonna kick his butt!”“It’s not that bad.
