Claims that binding arbitration clauses funnel disputes into a private system that favours repeat corporate players rest on interviews with counsel, a senior policy analyst citing 30 years of empirical research, and a prosecutor describing how outcomes are hidden by NDAs and private hearings. Specific mechanics cited: American Arbitration Association strike lists for arbitrator selection, typical 30‑day opt‑out window requiring USPS notice, and stalled legislation (Fair Act passed House 2019 and 2022 but never voted in Senate). A public case file is posted for review.
