Last week we reported that the United States Supreme Court was considering three petitions for certiorari concerning whether manifest disregard of the law remains a viable ground for vacating or modifying an arbitration award after Hall Street Assoc., L.L.C. v. Mattel , Inc, 552 U.S. ___, slip op. (March 25, 2008) (post here). Today the Court denied certiorari in all three cases: The Coffee Beanery, Ltd. v. WW, LLC, 300 Fed.
