In recent years, the Supreme Court has frequently granted certiorari in class arbitration cases. In the wake of AT&T v. Concepcion and Stolt-Nielsen v. AnimalFeeds, commentary addressed the possibility that class arbitration was dead.

Some forms of crowdsourced dispute resolution currently exist online. These dispute resolution processes can be put into three general categories: Opinion polls, online mock juries, and privately enforced crowdsourced dispute resolution.

Can crowd arbitration do justice? It depends, of course, on the definition of justice. According to H.L.A. Hart in The Concept of Law, justice means having like cases being treated alike.

Do the benefits of time and cost savings make crowd arbitration a less reliable means of dispute resolution? In fact, the result is the opposite–having more people participate is actually likely to make the dispute resolution far more reliable and predictable than any other method.
