Questions
What is Justinian?
An online court: a private, technology-first institution for resolving commercial disputes over the internet. Jurisdiction by consent. Administration by software. Decisions by people.
Is Justinian a government court?
No. Justinian is a private forum. Its authority comes from the agreement of the parties, as in arbitration.
Who are Justinian’s customers?
Technology companies resolving disputes online; parties who value speed and certainty over traditional courts; and counsel and institutions seeking a modern forum for ADR.
Can Justinian be white-labelled?
Yes. Institutions can run Justinian under their own name and rules — the registry and the technology, delivered as a white-labelled forum.
Who decides the cases?
People. Software runs the administration — filing, service, bundles, timetables. It never decides the outcome.
How fast is Justinian?
Weeks, not years. Procedure is fixed and published in advance.
How do parties agree to use Justinian?
By a clause in a contract, or by submitting an existing dispute by agreement. Model clauses come with the registry.
