KCBS radio interviewed Professor Jeff Sovern on October 25 on the Senate’s vote to block the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s arbitration rule.

Anchorwoman Rebecca Corral​ described Sovern as an “expert in consumer protection.” In addition, The Intercept, in partnership with The Investigative Fund, quoted Sovern in an article titled “No Protection for Protectors” on attacks on the CFPB. According to the article:
