Statement

The People's Jury is a dispute resolute service for individuals. Accordingly, no statements or representations by The People's Jury should be construed as legal advice, nor do we render legal assistance in any matters. All outcomes are non-binding and are only entered into according to personal agreement between individuals.

Process

  • A person (the 'Plaintiff') creates a case against another person (the 'Defendant'), clearly laying out the complaint and context
  • The Defendant chooses to proceed with the case
  • An anonymous online jury is formed using an equal number of submissions from the litigants as well as randomly sourced jurors. All jurors must agree to participate.
  • The 'Trial' proceeds once the jury is seated. Litigants have a chance to clarify their case via statements and responding to juror questions.
  • Finally, a decision is rendered in the case.
