Good outcome, but forced arbitration should still be illegal.

  If you have been through both processes, you would more likely say the traditional civil process should be illegal.

    No, you would say it needs to be reformed and funded, we have an extremely legalistic society that allows endless delaying and does not fund its core services very well.

    > extremely legalistic society
    Food for thought (not specifically relevant to this case): I wonder how much would go away if the US had universal healthcare, or to put it another way, how much of its legal system is spent figuring out who pays for medical treatment
