Scientology Can Settle Legal Disputes From Within, Appeals Court Rules by Tracey McManus In an opinion that could set precedent for challenges to the Church of Scientology, a U.S. appeals court on Tuesday affirmed the church’s ability to arbitrate disputes with former members on its own, effectively sidestepping the court system. The decision upheld a federal judge’s earlier ruling that resulted in the first-ever internal arbitration held between the church and defectors. ... In her dissent, 11th Circuit Judge Robin Rosenbaum argued that she would vacate Whittemore’s order compelling the arbitration because the agreements the Garcias signed were not valid. Rosenbaum said without established rules of procedure for the arbitration, the process was “as one-sided and unconscionable as an arbitration agreement can be.” “You can’t make up the rules as you go along,” Rosenbaum wrote. “It’s a basic concept of fairness, and it’s one that applies to arbitration as well. No wonder. If a party to the arbitration can create the rules governing the arbitration as the arbitration progresses, it enjoys an insurmountable advantage that effectively guarantees its victory.”

Question: Why do you need to sign anything anymore with pen and ink?

Surely, an eletronic signature where you type you name into a box is good enough.
