| Our service is designed to cut through all unnecessary bureaucratic procedures, and to eliminate all unnecessary legal wrangling.
There is a fixed series of steps to be carried out. The steps, as you will see, are the minimum ones necessary to frame a dispute and resolve it: |
| | | 1. Sign up for the service |
| |
There are two kinds of "sign-ups": one-party and two-party. The two-party signup is a normal one: You and your adversary agree to use our service. Each of you fills out the Signup Form, and each of you pays one-half the total fee ($5,000 each if you are signing up for an in-person hearing, and $2,000 each if you are signing up for an over-the internet documents-only procedure).
But some of our clients use the one-party approach: you decide to go through a "mock trial" with just your side participating. From our point of view, there is no difference in the procedure, other than the fact that just one sign-up form is filed with us, and one party pays all the fees.
The signup form must be submitted with payment of a $250 nonrefundable fee, which is applied towards the fixed price.
Once you sign up, you will receive an email asking for basic case information.
Once the basic information has been submitted by both sides, we will assign a case number, and a password to allow you to access the case records on our site. |
| | | 2. File the pleadings |
| |
The appropriate parties must file: complaint, answer and cross-complaint (if any), answer to cross-complaint (if any). |
| | | 3. File the Evidence |
| |
Evidence should come in the form of faxes or scanned PDF files. Exhibits should be numbered Pxxxx and Dxxxx, so that all the parties involved in the process can refer to them. |
| | | 4. File any objections to the opponent's evidence |
| |
This may be done in the form of an email, or in a more formal pleading. All that is required is that the evidence to which objection is made be clearly identified, and the nature of the objection be clearly stated. |
| | | 5. File the trial briefs |
| |
Each brief can be up to 25 pages long. There is no opportunity to file responsive briefs: each side files by the same deadline. |
| | | 6. The In-Person Hearing |
| |
If that is the service requested, it will be scheduled by agreement between the parties and the hearing officer. |
| | | 7. Receive the written Opinion. |
| |
Within five (5) business days, a written reasoned opinion written by our panelist will be posted on our site for you to download. |

| | | Standard Clause and Notes |
|
You can incorporate standard language into your agreements to provide for submission to RentAJudge. That way, all parties to your agreements - you and your clients - can know that if a disagreement does arise, there will be a speedy way to resolve it. Our standard clause allows you to select binding or non-binding in advance - but of course this choice can always be amended by agreement of both parties at the time a dispute arises.
Standard language to incorporate into your agreements is attached. Please be sure to read the accompanying short notes, which explain the choices that have to be made.
