How can anyone think that the court system is a panacea for dispute resolution? Or even that it is a better alternative? The courts are the emergency rooms of dispute resolution: on the civil side clogged with foreclosure cases, personal injury slip and falls, divorce protection orders and absent judges who are sitting on the criminal side because the criminal courts are drug courts. Federal courts have limited jurisdiction and criminal cases get priority. Except for bankruptcy, there is no civil side. Would you rather sit in an emergency room or see your own doctor? That is how arbitration is supposed to work. The friction point is the payment of fees. And there is no reason why the disputes of a class of people could not be submitted to arbitration. A lawyerless individual is much better off navigating an arbitration by himself than trying to navigate an American courtroom. Of course, if you don't want concierge justice, you are free to stand in line with everyone else. Understand though, that concierge justice comes at a price. The idiots at Uber simply don't want to pay the price.
