Lessons for drafters from American Airlines’ termination of Gogo in-flight Internet service

Law professor Mark Edwin Burge insightfully points out lessons that contract drafters can draw from American Airline’s decision to terminate its use of Gogo’s in-flight WiFi Internet access, in American Airlines v. Gogo: A Contract Litigation Object Lesson?

“Contract law is important to the operation of commerce, but market forces are much more important.” Burge explains why that’s the case.
“Finally, the publicity also speaks to the wisdom of not including arbitration clauses and confidentiality provisions in certain commercial contracts,” evincing some sophisticated strategic thinking on Professor Burge’s part.
