“The Civil Justice Association of California believes that arbitration is a fair, speedy, and efficient method of resolving disputes. Arbitration brings cases to resolution faster and at less overall expense to both parties than does traditional litigation.

“In fact, a Stanford Law Review empirical study of employment arbitration concluded that from the employees’ point of view, arbitration yielded roughly the same result as litigation but is much faster. In fact, there is no advantage shown in that study to plaintiffs by suing as opposed to going through arbitration.

“We at CJAC must fight to protect Californians’ right to arbitrate their disputes — especially now when our courts are overburdened and underfunded, it does not make sense to cut off one of their very important relief battles.

“For those reasons, CJAC continues to fight to protect your right to arbitrate and to strongly oppose any bills that limit arbitration.”
