This is a response to the American Association for Justice's October 2013 article, "License to Steal: How the U.S. Chamber Forced Arbitration on America".
==Introduction==
<blockquote>
By opening a credit card envelope in the mail...or even taking a first sip of coffee, millions of American consumers are unknowingly giving up their rights and protections established by more than 200 years of constitutional law. (p. 3)
</blockquote>
I am not aware of any court that considers merely opening a mailed envelope or consuming purchased coffee acceptance of any arbitration contract. AAJ is probably referring to change-in-terms notices to credit cards and the terms and conditions for Starbucks ''gift cards''. This misstatement of the contract formation process is just the beginning of sloppy scholarship by AAJ.
