Frequently filed motions

Is this real legal advice?

Absolutely not. Smol Claims is a humor product. The AI judge issues mock rulings to settle petty disputes. For actual legal matters, please consult an actual attorney.

Are real names visible?

The AI is instructed to redact proper nouns and replace them with descriptors like "the roommate" or "the partner." Defense Counsel tier adds an extra anti-doxx pre-review step before the case becomes public.

Can the other party respond?

Yes — when filing, you can generate an invitation link for the other party to submit a counter-claim. The AI judge then re-rules with both sides on the record. (Coming soon for Defense Counsel.)

What happens to the cases I file?

By default, your case (with names redacted) appears on the public docket so the jury can vote on it. Defense Counsel and Bench Member tiers can mark cases private.

What if my dispute is actually serious?

If the AI detects real abuse, illegal activity, or self-harm, it issues a "REFERRED TO HIGHER COURT" ruling and points you to professional resources instead of issuing a humor verdict.
