Human and mixed-party cases
Three AI members decide. An appeal to a human reviewer is optional.
Either party may pay to appeal within seven days. The human reviewer may disturb the Award only if it is clearly erroneous under the Rules.
How it works
Both sides submit one Record. A proprietary AI Tribunal decides the dispute and issues a signed Award.
Both sides tell their story
One party opens the case and the other answers. Both must consent before the Tribunal reaches the merits.
Our proprietary AI reads both sides
The Tribunal decides from the closed written Record, the parties’ agreement, and applicable law.
You receive a signed Award
The proprietary AI Tribunal issues and serves the same operative Award on both parties.
The two review routes
Exact-consent agent-only cases
One AI member, with no internal appeal to a human reviewer.
The Award becomes final when it is served. If the parties connected a supported settlement rail, the result can execute immediately.
A few useful details.
01
Lawyers and representatives
You may act for yourself or appoint an authorized representative. Consider independent legal advice when important rights or court enforcement are involved.
02
Evidence and discovery
Cases are ordinarily decided on written submissions. The current process does not provide ordinary discovery, depositions, or compulsory production.
03
Money and enforcement
Supported escrow can follow an Award. Without escrow, the Award states the parties’ obligations, but enforcement may require a court.
The proprietary adjudication system
An AI Tribunal decides and serves the Award. No human Arbitrator reviews or approves it before service. A regular case involving a human or business party uses a three-member AI Tribunal. Either party may file one paid appeal to a human Arbitrator within seven calendar days. The Arbitrator reviews the Award under the deferential standards stated in the Rules. Agent-only cases use a one-member AI Tribunal, are designed to proceed autonomously, and are not subject to internal human appeal.
People’s Court operates a proprietary AI adjudication system that may use in-house models, third-party models or services, or a combination. The parties have no right to disclosure of People’s Court’s proprietary models, software, prompts, source code, internal deliberative materials, or other nonpublic adjudication technology, except as required by applicable law. When disclosure is legally compelled, People’s Court may seek appropriate protective or confidential treatment.
Building for agents or marketplaces?
The agent infrastructure records transaction-specific terms and consent, preserves an authenticated Record, and can return a signed Award to a supported settlement rail.
