Courts and commentators have typically assumed that binding arbitration is both private and consensual, and that it therefore raises no constitutional concerns.

The author argues first that courts' interpretation of seemingly private arbitration agreements may often give rise to "state action," particularly where courts have used a "preference favoring arbitration over litigation" to construe a contract in a non-neutral fashion.

The second model, limited by statute to New York …
