Arbitration clauses vs. inviolate right to Jury trial

[AuAgen]

Many (most?) State constitutions contain the following clause:



However, many contracts include "mandatory" arbitration clauses; that is, language to the effect that in the event there is a dispute, the parties agree to binding arbitration with no other recourse.

Considering that the People's Supreme Law states trial by Jury is inviolate -- something that cannot be violated, period -- does anybody have any experience with cases or authorities in which it was decided whether a contractual agreement to arbitration supersedes the Constitutional guarantee?

Thanks, everyone.

Have you heard of Karl Lentz? Perhaps he may be able to shed some light on this subject matter.
