A contract cannot violate laws, but there is nothing illegal in fact many courts may order arbitration and most suits use the affidavit and disclosure periods for arbitration between the legal teams.

Also "justice" is a very subjective and relative term unless you mean legal justice which based on your rant you do not.

It's perfectly ok for courts (or law) to order arbitration. It's completely not ok for contracts to order them - even less ok if it's between "people" with different power levels.

Would most courts also say "You can't have a class action, go do individual arbitration instead."

Arbitration is one thing, taking away class action rights though.

See Concepcion v. AT&T Mobility LLC (April 2011) where the US Supreme Court ruled exactly that: class action is incompatible with arbitration so head over to arbitration as a lone individual.
