For all those public arguments that might be too small for small claims court, but still big enough to be a big deal, there's a promising new site: People's Court Raw.
Call it People's Court 2.0 or crowd-sourced litigation, it's a new way to make your case. Sign up to tell your side, let your opponents tell their side (using the handy "notify defendant" feature), and watch the people (site visitors) decide who's right. Each argument is assigned a case number, so it's easy to email your friends and ask them to swing the decision in your favor. Harvey Levin, of TV's incarnations of TMZ and The People's Court, explains in this video.
It's a fun way to settle not-so-serious arguments, as you'll see from the assortment of cases displayed on the main page. This site has me wondering how we could put it to use around here - deciding summer hours versus summer days for next year, picking a location for the summer party, and what else?
