Dismissing suit on the basis of forum-selection clause


Assignment:

AOL asked the court to dismiss the suit on the basis of a “forum-selection” clause in its member agreement that designates Virginiacourts as the place where member disputes will be tried. Under a decision of the United States Supreme Court, a forum-selection clause in unenforceable “if enforcement would contravene a strong public policy of the forum in which suit is brought.” California courts have declared inother cases that the AOL clause contravenes a strong public policy. If the court applies the doctrine of stare decisis, will it dismiss the suit?
