About Internet Jury

Every argument has two sides. Internet Jury lets you lay both out and ask a jury of strangers who was being unreasonable.

People submit the everyday disputes that do not have an obvious answer: the flatmate and the dishes, the friend who is always 45 minutes late, the brother who ate the leftovers. Jurors read the case, deliver a verdict and see how everyone else voted.

How a case works

• A title and two sides. The submitter explains what happened and, if they are fair about it, summarises the other person's position.
• Five verdicts. Side with one person, say both have a point, say neither does, or ask for more information.
• The jury has spoken. After your verdict you see the split, how many jurors took part and whether you sided with the majority.
• The jury room. Once you have delivered a verdict you can read the comments, react and add your own.

Tell the story. Don't identify the people.

Internet Jury is for ordinary interpersonal disputes, not for naming and shaming. Cases must not include full names, addresses, workplaces, phone numbers, social media handles or anything else that could identify the people involved. Our checks look for these details before a case is published and ask the submitter to remove them. Cases that allege serious criminal conduct are not published: those belong with the police or a solicitor, not with a jury of strangers. Read the full case rules.

What a verdict means

A verdict is the opinion of the people who voted here, based on one side's account. It is not a legal ruling, it is not a survey of the population, and the majority is not automatically right. Sometimes the most interesting cases are the ones where the jury is split down the middle.

Accounts are optional

You never need an account to judge, comment or submit. If you create one you get a private jury record: how many cases you have judged, and how often you sided with the majority.
