On August 31, 2011, the Daily Journal had an article by attorney Christian Scali of Arent Fox LLP called "Did the Supremes go too far? The backlash against Concepcion" (hyperlink not available).

The article discusses the application of Concepcion in consumer, employment and CLRA cases in light of three recent decisions:  Brown v. Ralphs Grocery Co., 197 Cal.App.4th 489 (2011), Arguelles-Romero v. Superior Court, 184 Cal.App.4th 825 (2010), and Fisher v. DCH Temecula Imports, 187 Cal.App.4th 601 (2010).  (For more on those cases, see these blog posts.) 

It is a very interesting article and worth finding in your pile of Daily Journals. 

On a related note, a petition for review was filed in Brown on August 23, 2011.  Brown v. Ralphs Grocery Co., no. S195850.
