The Court Legal Access and Student Support Act of 2025 prevents arbitration agreements from applying to contracts between students and institutions.
The Court Legal Access and Student Support Act of 2025, also known as the CLASS Act of 2025, aims to protect students' rights in legal disputes with their educational institutions. The bill ensures that arbitration agreements, which typically require disputes to be resolved through arbitration rather than court proceedings, do not apply to contracts between students and institutions of higher education. Additionally, it prohibits institutions from enforcing any restrictions on students' ability to pursue claims in court, including limitations on the choice of law, jury trials, or venue.
