1-4. Spotlight on AOLCommon Law. AOL, LLC, mistakenly made public the personal informa- tion 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? Explain.
