Survey Says!
Perhaps common sense is still around.
Of course, I seem to remember having heard that nothing really prevents going to court if you really want to.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see if the trial lawyers can influence the voting on this subject...

The Wall Street Journal tells us:
"A poll released this week finds that most Americans do not want their day in court. Rather, they prefer cheaper and faster methods of settling arguments. When asked how they'd like to settle a dispute with a company, 82% chose arbitration, which avoids the time and expense of going to court. Only 15% opted for litigation. Americans are not confident that a lawsuit will produce a fair result, reports the poll, but a solid majority looks favorably on mediation and arbitration."
