The big idea
Small-claims court is designed for regular people with disputes under a few thousand dollars — no lawyer needed. AI can walk you through filing, evidence, and what to actually say in front of a judge.
How to use it
- Ask AI: 'How do I file in small-claims court in [your state]?'
- Ask AI to list the evidence to bring (texts, photos, receipts)
- Ask AI to draft a 60-second statement for the judge
- Ask AI to remind you of the dollar limit in your state
Try it
Pick a real or hypothetical dispute. Ask AI to draft a small-claims case plan with evidence list and a judge statement.
