Making Justice Accessible
summary
Overburdened courts create a measurable access gap — 50 million pending cases and 100,000 stuck for 30 years — so the proposal is to move dispute prevention and resolution on‑chain: automate performance with smart legal contracts, handle enforcement via smart contracts, and record event evidence with IPFS + oracles to produce tamperproof timelines. Jury selection uses blockchain randomness and eligibility rules for automated juror selection. A working prototype is named Resolu platform aimed at creator disputes; arbitration savings and practical limits are demonstrated with real contract failure modes.
