1–4. Spotlight on AOL—Common Law. AOL, LLC, mistakenly made public the personal information of 650,000 of its members. The members filed a suit, alleging violations of California law. AOL asked the court to dismiss the suit on the basis of a "forum-selection clause" in its member agreement that designates Virginia courts as the place where member disputes will be tried. Under a decision of the United States Supreme Court, a forum-selection clause is unenforceable "if enforcement would contravene a strong public policy of the forum in which suit is brought." California courts have declared in other cases that the AOL clause contravenes a strong public policy. If the court applies the doctrine of stare decisis, will it dismiss the suit?

If the court applies the Stare decisis doctrine, the case will not be dismissed.

Explanation:

The stare decisis doctrine will provide the necessary legal bases for the case to proceed within California. This will happen because there is a legal decision applied throughout the national territory that states that this type of clause, which presents a selection forum, is inexorable. This happens because the AOL clause violated, in fact, a very strong public policy, so the judges are obliged to continue with the case, within the state where the public policy was violated.
