- AOL, LLC, mistakenly made public the personal information of 650,000 of its members. The members filed a suit in California, alleging violations of federal law and California state law. The member agreement between AOL and its members included a provision declaring Virginia as the location of any court dispute. AOL asked the court to dismiss the suit on the basis of that "forum-selection" clause in its member agreement. Under a previous decision of the United States Supreme Court, a forum-selection clause is unenforceable "if enforcement would contravene a strong public policy of the forum in which suit is brought." California courts previously have declared in other cases that clauses similar to the AOL clause contravene a strong public policy. If the court applies the doctrine of stare decisis, will it dismiss the suit? Explain. [Doe 1 v. AOL LLC, 552 F.3d 1077 (9th Cir. 2009)] (See The Common Law Tradition.)arrow_forwardA Not for profit Organization (NPO) wants to create a sample of financially backward girl students who are unable to continue their higher education, from the AL Dakhliya governorate.
