Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit August 5, 2003, 01-4124, 01-4147, 01-4148 (Glenn A. Hawkins and Nedra J. Hawkins v. Aid Association for Lutherans, Aid Association for Lutherans v. Martin F. Radmer)

FLAUM, Chief Judge.

Three groups of plaintiffs filed putative class actions against Aid Association for Lutherans (“AAL”), a fraternal benefit society that provides them with life insurance, alleging that AAL engaged in fraudulent sales practices. These policyholders want their claims resolved in a judicial forum, but a federal district court ordered them to arbitration. We affirm.
