I'm a litigator and I'd rather arbitrate small disputes. Litigation is absurdly expensive and slow.
I've had great experiences with AAA arbitrators. They were fair and reasonable. They kept costs down too.
My biggest complaint about arbitration is that its too much like court. I thought it could have been more streamlined.
I've even used it as a consumer. When Sprint kicked me off their service for using BitTorrent, threatening arbitrator got them to buy back my two month old phone.
Plaintiff's lawyers hate arbitration because they like dumb juries.
- shostack 9y agoHow would you respond to views that arbitration outcome statistics favor the corporation paying for it?
- philipodonnell 9y agoFacts, not views. Facts says it favors corporations. It may seem like we live in a post-fact world, but here, I believe, you can still call a fact a fact.
- pas 9y agoA lot of consumers are indeed in breach of contract. Even if socially not fair, they agreed to a contract that seemed like a very good deal at the time. That's because of the costs/risks they haven't foresee at the time.
