For some, the legal system can be a beacon of justice. It is effectively used by ICAN attorney Aaron Siri, Attorney Tom Rentz, CHD attorneys, Dr. Henry Ealy’s Grand Jury, and others. They are creatively and skillfully using the system as a last bastion to pursue truth and justice, denied elsewhere. It has resulted in victories that may save us from crimes against humanity perpetrated by asymmetrical powers.
I have been in and out or court more times than one can count as plaintiff, defendant and witness. The legal system is DESIGNED to be abusive; only a sociopath can possibly survive in that environment unscathed. I have learned over the years that, rather than being the least corrupt of the three branches of government, the judicial branch is easily the most corrupt...by a long reach...because nothing that happens there is transparent.
Anyone can be sued at any time. The lists of reactions and feelings you have put above may feel like part of marriage and family resolution, but they apply to every civil suit and to most criminal suits as well. As noted, the suits and the process are designed to be abusive. Papers are always served at 4:59:59 on Friday afternoon. Process servers work hard to find the most disruptive place to serve process. Laws are written to make sure everyone is guilty of something all of the time -- it is just whether today is your day to be assailed because you have become "an enemy" of someone.
The intermediate resolution techniques seldom work in my experience. I have yet to have EVER had a mediation accomplish anything except enriching the mediator. The point of almost all of these actions by one of the parties is TO WIN, not to move on. The exceptions generally solve themselves without a third party, although I am sure they are sometimes of use -- but have never been to me. I have settled plenty out of court, but it always takes the judge making clear who is going to win and then, and only then, is one side willing to move enough to end it all.
It is an interesting take to allege violation of the ADA by imposing PTSD on litigants. Has this ever been tested in court? This would be the judges deciding against themselves and what they do -- I find that impossible to imagine. But I would be intrigued to hear.
I've experienced this. I agree with Dr. K (below) about it being designed to be abusive. Regular people enter into legal proceedings expecting justice, but it doesn't exist. Legal proceedings are a war game lawyers play with each other. In the simplest terms, it's a game of "chicken" and who will flinch first.
I agree that many mediations are a joke. However, I did prevail after an 8 hour mediation one time. I also won a civil suit - sort of - via settlement where I had to wait 3 years for "justice." In each of these cases the abuses were there and it took a huge toll on my health. I learned about IBN (interest based negotitation) at my current job, but all parties have to agree to the rules, otherwise it doesn't work and people can let their "dark side" rule their emotions and it all goes to hell. The nice IBN people try hard to get everyone to be their best selves, but at the end of the day, it's all the raft of Medusa and we're just animals.

His theory of mass formation during the coronavirus crisis has become widely known and widely misunderstood since gaining mainstream attention. His new book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism, lays out what mass formation is, how it develops, how it leads to totalitarianism, and what we must do to change the conditions that makes these mass formation events possible.

Taxation is Theft. The Federal Reserve is a criminal organization (as are all Privately owned Central Banks).
