> The widespread use of forced arbitration seems ripe for examination by the SCOTUS.

Given the current makeup of SCOTUS, I wouldn't hold your breath, sadly.

(Although I would like to hear Gorsuch claim that since the constitution didn't say anything about forced arbitration, it's out of the purview of SCOTUS. If only to hear him slapped down by RBG again.)

They looked at a related issue not too long ago.

In your view is it ever permissible(enforceable) to forfeit the right to sue as part of a contract? Or are there just certain kinds of contracts or circumstances for which the right to sue is inalienable?

It's not in Europe, so I see zero reason why it should be permissible here.

They have examined it and found it's fine.
