Aol, llc, mistakenly made public the personal information of 650,000 of its members. the members filed a suit in california, alleging violations of federal law and california state law. the member agreement between aol and its members included a provision declaring virginia as the location of any court dispute. aol asked the court to dismiss the suit on the basis of that "forum-selection" clause in its member agreement. under a previous 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 previously have declared in other cases that clauses similar to the aol clause contravene a strong public policy.
