=== Arbitration ===
There is no arbitration procedure within Scientology or written by Hubbard; the closest procedure to what is commonly known as [[arbitration]] is the [[#Chaplain's court|Chaplain's court]].{{r|hubbard-admindict|hubbard-ethics|straus}}{{r|rinder|p=176}}{{r|reitman|p=248}} However, in 2020 [[Mike Rinder]] wrote about arbitration—explaining that members must sign contracts ''before'' doing any Scientology services, and that these contracts were drafted with typical corporate language requiring arbitration rather than lawsuits to settle disputes with the Church corporations.{{Efn|Use of "Church" or "the Church" is a common shortened form of "Church of Scientology"; see [[The Church (Scientology)]].}}
{{Blockquote |text=The bottom line is that there is no such thing as scientology arbitration. It was a term invented by scientology's in-house counsel to include in agreements designed to prevent civil litigation. Arbitration is not mentioned in any Hubbard policy letter anywhere. There is no prescribed procedure for "scientology arbitration." —Mike Rinder <ref>{{Cite web |title=Concerning Scientology "Religious Arbitration" |first=Mike |last=Rinder |author-link=Mike Rinder |url=https://www.mikerindersblog.org/concerning-scientology-religious-arbitration/ |date=January 30, 2020}}</ref>}}
