On February 23, 2024, United States District Judge Clifton L. Corker of the Eastern District of Tennessee granted a preliminary injunction requested by the attorneys general of Virginia and Tennessee to enjoin the NCAA from enforcing its ban on collectives, boosters, and other third parties from discussing NIL deals with a recruit before the recruit signs at a university (referred to as the "NIL-recruiting ban"). The ruling also bars the NCAA from enforcing Bylaw 12.11.4.2, which is its "rule of restitution" (i.e., a rule that allows the NCAA to impose a retroactive punishment if an ineligible athlete is permitted to compete under an injunction, restraining order or other order of a court).

California Court Of Appeal Finds That An Employment Arbitration Agreement Entered Into “Freely And Voluntarily” Actually Was Forced, Illegal, And Invalid Under California Law

The California Court of Appeal ruled that requiring employees to sign arbitration agreements as a condition of employment violates California Labor Code section 432.6 when the Federal Arbitration Act does not apply. The court found that even agreements stating they are "voluntary" on their face may be unenforceable if evidence shows employees had no real choice but to sign or seek other employment.
