Due Process, Loosely Speaking

Step 1

File Your Grievance

Describe the dispute in your own words. No detail is too petty — pettiness is jurisdiction here.

Step 2

Serve Someone!

Name the offender — no grievance too petty. They get officially SERVED with a summons to tell their side. 48 hours, or the court proceeds without them.

Step 3

Submit Evidence

Screenshots, text messages, witness statements, handwritten fury. Your legal team reviews everything.

Step 4

Stand Trial

A fully animated courtroom hears your case — objections, cross-examinations, and a dramatic final verdict.

What is Silly Court?

Silly Court is an online AI courtroom that settles petty disputes as fully animated trials. You describe the argument, serve the other party with an official summons, and an AI judge, jury, and two alarmingly committed lawyers hear the case — objections, cross-examination and all. The verdict is dramatic, printable, and 0% legally binding.

How do I settle an argument with my roommate, partner, or friend?

File a case describing the dispute — stolen leftovers, chore evasion, an unreturned $20, thermostat crimes — and submit your evidence (screenshots welcome; the court's analysts actually read them). The other party gets a summons link to tell their side, and the court hears you both before ruling on the evidence. Winners print the verdict. Losers historically claim it's "just a website".

Is the verdict legally binding?

Absolutely not, and it says so right on the certificate. Silly Court is comedy — a fake court for real arguments. The verdict settles the vibe, not the law. For disputes with actual stakes, hire an actual lawyer.

What happens to the person I serve?

They receive an official summons link — it lands in the chat as a YOU GOT SERVED notice — with 48 hours to answer the charge and file evidence of their own. Ignore the court, and the trial may proceed in absentia. Once the case is decided, they can watch the whole trial from the gallery.

What laws does the court apply?

The Code of Petty Grievances: the court's own body of law covering Snack Larceny, Aggravated Non-Participation in Household Chores, Failure to Repay with Intent to Forget, and some twenty-five further offenses — each with elements, defenses, and sentencing guidelines.

What does it cost?

Your first case is free with an account. After that, case packs keep the gavel moving. The pettiness itself remains free forever.

Can I read other people's verdicts?

Yes — parties can publish their cases to the public Court Records, where rulings of maximum pettiness are preserved for posterity.
