    Your monthly reminder here that forced arbitration is unconstitutional under the plain text of the 7th Amendment.

    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.

      Wow, that’s an awesome reminder! TIL. Thank you kindly!

      It was in my head because recently I had to send like 4 “Oh no you don’t” emails to like 4 or 5 companies that tried to pull that with a little ToS edit. It seems to be all the rage these days. :(
