Someone angling to go into coding should be able to do the research to draft an arbitration claim on their own. In most cases that isn’t a fair assumption to make, but given the cohort, they should be able to collaborate on a draft.
The gating part isn’t doing the work. It’s knowing you have the option to.
Unless you’re a total numpty, you can learn online how to draft an arb claim. And even if you are a numpty, you should be be to find—in a half-decent cohort—someone who can do this.
The issue is rarely ability. It’s learned helplessness in the face of the legal system. The anxiety, not ability, is the limiting factor.
It is. I won't because this isn't something I care deeply about. The question is whether they would have been better off without arbitration, and the answer is no.
I honestly can't think of a clearer example of arbitration agreements screwing people over.
This is also an area I care deeply about. And have read north of 2000 pages of cases, analysis, and position papers on the topic.
I also have a list of about 90 more documents to read. Slow but steady progress.
