In a Google for Startups Alumni feature, Courtroom5 is recognized for building an AI-powered platform that helps people navigate civil court without a lawyer. The article highlights the founders’ personal experiences with self-representation and how those challenges led to a solution designed for others in the same situation. With tools for case strategy, legal research, and document generation, Courtroom5 is helping level the playing field in civil justice.
For the foreseeable future, having or not having an attorney will still remain the single most important factor in finding courtroom justice. But as the ranks of the self-represented continue to grow in the U.S., another distinction may yet emerge among the self-represented: Those who turn to Courtroom5 and its upstart community of victorious pro se litigants.
Among these justice tech startups, what will continue to differentiate Courtroom5 is how the platform centers the experience of the overwhelmed pro se litigant—who is often entering a courtroom for the first time in their life, with no lawyer by their side.
