How to be a plaintiff

1Start by identifying something in the media that you want to propose as either a truth or a lie. Then, click on the 'Create a Case' button and provide a name for your case. Write a short accusation to explain your claim and identify relevant sections for analysis. Finally, mark the specific text within the media that you want to analyze as the proposed truth or lie.
-
2Answer the standard eight verdict questions and provide any relevant additional text.

3To schedule the trial, choose a time and date. If there is an online conference (see step 4), the trial date and time will coincide with the beginning of the conference. Otherwise, it will be the deadline for all jurors to submit their verdicts. Once you've made your selection, click the 'File Case' button.
-
4It is recommended to include an online conference ('meeting') so that the trial participants can discuss the case, but this is not required. You can utilize any conference software, such as Zoom, Google Meet, etc., for this purpose. In the case of a public trial, additional individuals can watch the trial using the selected software or be physically present in the audience.
-
5After filing the case, the plaintiff will gain access to an invitation that they can copy and distribute to other potential jurors. In the current free version of the court, it is the plaintiff's responsibility to invite all the jurors. A maximum of eight jurors can accept the invitation and participate in the case.
-
6In cases where a live conference is involved, the plaintiff has the opportunity to present their case to the jurors, engage in dialogue, and dissect and analyze the proposed truth or lie, all within a live setting.
-
7The trial will settle once all the verdicts are finalized or when the trial times out. If there is a live conference during the trial, this is the moment for the plaintiff to provide a summary of the case's outcomes.

2The simplest method to initiate a case is by selecting something from the media that personally troubles you. Cases can be easily found in various media sources. Choose a topic that you perceive as either a truth or a lie. The purpose is for the plaintiff to gauge the perspectives of others, including those known to them, regarding their belief in the veracity of the subject matter.

3The plaintiff has the option to share the conference link with non-participants and organize a public trial. During a public trial, interested individuals can observe the proceedings through the selected conference software or by being physically present in the meeting audience. Audience members are not required to log into the court platform.

6Cases remain private and accessible only to trial participants or sponsors. The court website does not offer a search feature to browse through others' cases, and case results are not published by the court. The responsibility of publishing cases lies solely with the respective trial participants and sponsors. Additionally, it is worth mentioning that the court keeps track of users who demonstrate responsible behavior by accepting court roles, such as plaintiff or juror, adhering to trial schedules, and promptly submitting their verdicts. In certain cases, the court may compensate reliable users for their participation in sponsored trials as personal gigs.
