The New York Times published a three-part series on arbitration in 2015. A relevant quote:

“This is among the most profound shifts in our legal history,” William G. Young, a federal judge in Boston who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan, said in an interview. “Ominously, business has a good chance of opting out of the legal system altogether and misbehaving without reproach.”

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, I CAN'T SUE IN COURT!?

If a consumer and a business/organization have entered into a contract to have their disputes resolved by "binding arbitration," an individual who files a lawsuit in state/federal court will likely face a "Motion to Compel Arbitration" from the business/organization.

A Motion to Compel Arbitration is essentially the business/organization asking the court to require the individual to take their dispute to "arbitration," rather than the lawsuit proceeding in court. NOTE - court documents are often public, while arbitration documents are often not public.

Now, these arbitration clauses often can be - and are - challenged by the individual, which can result in an individual's lawsuit continuing in court, rather than in a non-public arbitration arena.
