Questions presented
This case raises important federal concerns regarding policies favoring arbitration and the well-established doctrine of res judicata, where circuits are divided on whether a court, as opposed to the arbitrator, decides the preclusive effect of a prior judgment. The questions presented are:
-
Should a court decide the preclusive effect of a judgment on an arbitration proceeding?
-
Did the district court have federal question jurisdiction to determine the preclusive effect of a federal judgment adjudicating a federal question?
