I don't understand how this kind of situation is legal. Like isn't the whole framework that the office is making people enter into contracts so non-conducive to the premise of a legal agreement that it nullifies it?

If being made to sign a contract that you can't read doesn't go against the premise of a contract than what does?

In contract law you have to reach mutual assent so if you’ve never read a contract but they signed it with your signature it would be thrown out in court and probably grounds for a tort suit if nothing else
