JUST-US / Justice for the Rest of Us

Eighty percent of Americans can't afford the justice system they're told to trust. When an insurer denies a claim, a landlord keeps a deposit, or a marriage unravels, the remedy routinely costs more than the wrong itself - so most people simply walk away.

JUST-US is the blueprint for closing that gap. Drawing on three decades of dispute-resolution science and the pioneering work of the late Dr. Ted Becker, mediators David W. Puckett and Stanley Zamor introduce TeDR(TM) - Technology-Enhanced Dispute Resolution - a system that unites artificial intelligence, emotional intelligence, and eNegotiation to settle disputes in days, at a fraction of the cost, with the parties in control.

Part manifesto and part working roadmap, JUST-US shows how technology can serve people instead of the other way around: resolving disputes in days rather than years, for a fraction of the cost of going to court, with a practical path courts and lawyers can adopt today. The technology exists. The models are proven. What's left is the will to use them - together.
