OPINION OF THE COURT
HARDIMAN, Circuit Judge.
In this appeal we consider a question of first impression under Pennsylvania law: whether a shareholder/director may be compelled to arbitrate her civil rights claims pursuant to corporate bylaws to which she has not explicitly assented. When first presented with this issue, we petitioned the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to certify the question because we found that it exposed tension between corporate law principles and arbitration contract principles. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court denied the petition, so we shall answer the question.
