The part that puzzles me a bit is this:

mother of five who says she was sexually harassed and assaulted while working for Halliburton/KBR in Iraq is headed for a secretive arbitration process rather than being able to present her case in open court. A judge in Texas has ruled that Tracy Barker's case will be heard in arbitration, according to the terms of her initial employment contract.

Why cannot the woman choose to go court? If the woman is not satisfied with the arbitration can she then go to court or is this binding arbitration?
