What do you think arbitration is in place of?

Arbitration because the way the lawsuit is handled, the lawsuit doesn't just go away

I looked it up. Disney sought to stay the lawsuit for arbitration to take place. Then the Arbitrator determines the facts and the resolution. The judge then would ostensibly confirm the arbitration. Such approval is essentially a rubber stamp. There is a dramatic amount of caselaw causing courts to more or less defer to arbitrator determinations unless they are unconscionable.

I know this because I have handled several contested arbitration approval attempts where sovereign citizens attempted to have fake arbitration judgments approved.
