Now here’s a great idea…:

You don’t see why you have to fold underwear, but your gf/bf/hubby/wife says you have to…; or

You like to leave leftovers in the fridge until the last moment of edibility, just in case, but your roommate wants them gone asap…; or

Half of your friends want to go “clubbing” and fist-pumping jersey shore style while the other half want to meet at the local pub, grab a booth, and feed the jukebox until can’t afford another pitcher of PBR… 

Now you can take your dispute to an “online jury of your peers” at a new website called JabberJury.com.

Here’s an excerpt from the ABA article about the site:

“ Fast Company calls the website “The People’s Court for the Facebook generation,” while a press release dubs it “a true people’s court.” It’s the brainchild of Chicago entrepreneurs Kevin Wielgus and Angelo Rago, who came up with the idea after Rago settled an argument with his girlfriend by asking bar patrons to weigh in. The dispute: Did his girlfriend have a right to be mad when he refused to visit her father in the hospital? (He was suffering from hemorrhoids, not a life-threatening disease.)”

The cases there now aren’t as impressive as my hypotheticals (but then again, what are?) but they’re a start, and you’ll want to weigh in with your 2 cents.

It’s a pretty simple but great idea. “Litigating” parties submit their case via video and members can post comments. Then, litigants and jurors on the winning side of a case get credits called “Jabbies” that can be redeemed for prizes or donated to charity.

These two young entrepreneurs developed the website with $120,000 in cash from their families and $1.2 million in private funding.  Great example of using the law, social media and technology to start a new biz idea.
