THE COURTOF SOCIAL GRIEVANCES
An online platform leveraging social media to
resolve disputes
Because justice is a spectator sport.
Presented by Lilly Ghahremani, JD, MBA

WHAT’S THE PROBLEM WITH THIS PHOTO?

THE VISION
Social media is home base for self-expression and our
“second lives”.
The court that matters today is the court of public
opinion. And yet it has no permanent residence.
Let’s capture the energy of the online world and use it to
provide a reliable platform for the resolution of
personal disputes.
COMMUNITY. QUICK ANSWERS. FUNNY & SOCIAL.

HOW ARE PEOPLE CURRENTLY SOLVING PROBLEMS IN THEIR
L IVES?
Social media • We go here by the millions to vent. We love talking about
ourselves.
Advice chat boards • Yahoo Answers, etc. No community, no incentive. Basic &
unattractive.
ODR sites • Heavy and legal.
The legal system • Expensive. Time-consuming. Intimidating. Skepticism. • Doesn’t cover the issues that keep us up at night.
5
THE APPEAL OF ONLINE SOLUTIONS
Crowdsourcing• We now reach out to strangers for financial
solutions, why not emotional?
Comfort • The easy way to communicate.
Instant gratification • The “solution” to your problem can be delivered
online
6
COURT IS NOW IN SESSIONTHE TRIFECTA
A single-source solution for:
Social disputes and questions• Have fun & gain loyalty
Customer complaint resolution (C2B)• Reinforce brand equity through positive PR
Minor legal cases
The road ahead: higher stakes issues & diverse revenue sources

TAKE IT TO THE JURY! ( T R U E S T O R Y ! )
What’s the problem?
“I asked my husband for a ring, and he suggested I spend the money on a tummy tuck instead!”
Who are the “players”?
A vs. M (her vs. him)
What are the facts? A: 10 yr anniversary, twins, unsolicited insult, never buys jewelry
M: She doesn’t deserve it
What do you want? A: A gift - and an apology!

WHY IT WORKS
Something for every personality• The Plaintiff, The Jury, Judges, Advisors, The Defendant,
Voyeurs & Friends
Reality legal programming is on the rise• Judge Judy: Sept 2013 averaged over 9.4M viewers — its
best premiere-week viewership in 10 years; ahead of any other syndicated daytime show in terms of total viewers
Relatable • The consumer relates to reality TV, because “the events
depicted could just as easily have happened to [them]” (Kilborn, 424)
9
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE APPROACH
BE THE EFFICIENT OPTION • An accessible, time and cost-effective way to address - and
resolve - personal matters.
ENTERTAIN THEM • Draw from the power of social networks for a “jury of your
peers”. Distinguish ourselves from law by having a sense of humor about it all.
INSPIRE FREQUENT USE• Diversify with various avenues & reasons for user
engagement, all under one umbrella (much like a court system).
10
$TRATEGIES
Targeted Product Advertising• Uniquely motivated users
Referral Services • Attorneys and other experts issue “opinions”
Corporate Memberships • Large corps with emphasis on culture agree to have
customer issues resolved publicly (Zappos, Southwest Air, Virgin, etc.)
Co-branding • Go to market strategy bolstered by partnering with existing
community owners and co-branding with celebrities and others
