I was once a juror during a very vindictive two day civil trial against what was essentially a hobby business. I left with a newfound respect for binding arbitration.
My feelings are different where there's grave power imbalances like you describe, but there's very little about dealing with a large corporations that is just or dignified these days.
- RugnirViking 22d agoYou were a juror during a civil trial? Is that a thing? Where?
- pxx 22d agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventh_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventh_Amendment_to_the_Unite... > In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law 47/50 states also provide for this right in their constitutions. the remaining three don't have it in their constitution but still have legislation or rules supporting it
- RugnirViking 20d agoThanks! Interesting, you can perhaps tell I'm based in Europe, seems like lots of countries don't have that here. Seems like probably a good feature of American justice?
