A huge part of the civil litigation metagame is just finding ways to legally exempt yourself from being sued. It used to be the case that only sovereign states could declare themselves immune from litigation, but now that power has been delegated to anyone who can convince someone else to sign a binding contract. Which is literally everyone because almost every business relationship requires contracts. And now we're going to "you can't testify against us because you had an NDA" which seems even more abusable.

By $NEAR_FUTURE_YEAR the only people who wind up in civil court will be victims of extortion.
