Q1. In the Atalese case, the New Jersey Supreme Court cited the lower courts recognition of the validity of arbitration clauses in commercial contracts. The Court noted the general legal principle that an arbitration provision will be enforced so long as it is sufficiently clear, unambiguously worded, satisfactorily distinguished from the other [a]greement terms, and provide[s] a consumer with reasonable notice of the requirement to arbitrate. However, in the Atalese case, the New Jersey Supreme Court determined that the arbitration clause was not legally enforceable. Explain why the Supreme Court disagreed with and reversed the lower courts decisions and what kind of language does the NJ Supreme Court now require in arbitration clauses or agreements?
