An article written by Beth Sher, Joy Sperling and Paul Marino on a recent Third Circuit ruling was published on May 27 in Law360. The authors examined the decision in New Jersey Department of Treasury v. Merrill Lynch & Co., which addressed the issue of forum selection clauses and whether parties may restrict their right to remove a case by agreeing to such a clause. The case hinged on the precise wording of the clause and the distinction of two different words contained in it.
