Hey goons, have you ever heard of a little thing called... Systemic injustice? Go Google it and get back to me.  Leans back with a heavy sigh, exhausted but satisfied after another long day of activism.

Can I sue a big company of which I am a customer in small claims court? I am looking for money only, an amount under the small claims limits. The company's terms say:quote:ALL PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO SUE EACH quote:Client agrees that any controversy ... shall be resolved by arbitration, in accordance with the rules However, I found this on JAMS website (https://www.jamsadr.com/consumer-minimum-standards/): quote:The arbitration agreement must be reciprocally binding on all parties such that (a) if a consumer is required to arbitrate his or her claims or all claims of a certain type, the company is so bound; and, (b) no party shall be precluded from seeking remedies in small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of its jurisdiction.

Hey guys is this binding arbitration agreement binding or could I just ignore it? Do you think they'll let me just ignore the rules and be special or will they fight me tooth and nail to compel arbitration?

Arbitration agreements included in contracts of adhesion are monstrous and strip people of their rights and in any other world would be considered a gross violation of constitutional principles. In the USA ityool 2021?  have fun in your 'neutral' arbitration.

It's not like the world lacks a plethora of unenforceable non-compete or release of liability clauses.

So that was the thought, but there's a trend where companies are moving away from arbitration because people figured out how to file en masse and cause the company gigantic filing and legal expenses.

So what about that "b) no party shall be precluded from seeking remedies in small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of its jurisdiction" part, I'm curious if there's already a broad legal principle that arbitration agreements don't apply to small claims

An insurance agent was attempting to sell me umbrella insurance today and it brought up an interesting legal hypothetical that I thought I would ask here. In a situation where I was at fault in a collision and the other person chose to sue me above the limits of my current auto policy, are assets in a 401k or IRA exempt from a judgment? I'm aware this may be a state by state issue, but it is a true hypothetical so feel free to use whatever state you're aware of. Unsurprisingly the insurance agent was very adamant that they were not protected, but my understanding was that they were (though to be clear I am not a lawyer and this was just based on some googling plus a former career as a credit card collection agent).

You can’t spend money in a 401k as soon as you take it out I’m gonna garnish it and also seize the cherry 1981 Ford Fairmont you bought with your mandatory minimum distribution.

When there is a situation where invites for zoom based court dates go out to the wrong email (repeatedly), what's the best course of action? It's not like there's a process server at the door realizing "oh, you are not the right person. my bad." Tell the court they sent the email to the wrong person several times and hope its good enough/wash your hands of it? Join anyway and explain you are the wrong John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt? It's not like the this JJJS would be in contempt, but it might make life difficult for the right JJJS.

Call the JA and inform them, call the other JJJS's office and leave a message with their secretary, never think of it again. Is this one court clerk who hosed up entering the EOA or is this a small town where you two generally always get mixed up? Or is JJJS not a lawyer? If he's not a lawyer, then reversing something like a default judgment or a warrant is a huge pain. Decrease entropy in the universe and help the unlucky sap out. Call or email the judicial assistant on the case and explain that you are JJJS with this birthday, they are looking for JJJS with that birthday.

I thought this was a simple question, but I'm having a surprisingly hard time finding an answer just searching online. Can a 401(k) plan offer different employer contributions to different employees? Like, most people get a 3% match, but a few get a 10% match (e.g., in exchange for foregoing some other benefit, or some kind of performance bonus, or maybe for no reason in particular). I gather that there are issues with this if the employees getting the higher contribution are "highly compensated," and the employees getting the lower contribution are not, but what if all employees in question are not "highly compensated"? Is it possible to set up a 401(k) plan that does this?
