ABSTRACT:
In a first embodiment according to the invention, a method of resolving a dispute includes the step of at least one of a plurality of parties to the dispute providing, via an on-line connection, an input relating to the dispute. Information related to resolution of the dispute is provided, via the on-line connection, to at least one of the parties. The method may further include the step of providing at least a portion of the input from the at least one party in a publicly accessible on-line form that may include an advertising field. In one embodiment, the advertising may be related to the dispute. In one alternative, the method allows at least some people who access the on-line form to interact therewith, such as by voting on the outcome or querying the parties. This method may further include a step of determining which people that access the on-line form are permitted to interact therewith, based, for example, on an assessment of the person's knowledge of the law and/or the facts.
