Petty Sessions

Small claims. Big feelings.

Tell us who wronged you. We (the Court of Petty Sessions) will hear it properly, using real evidence and giving a verdict in 3 mins. After, tell us what was rubbish; the court will improve itself within a few hours and do better in future cases.

What is your grievance?

Who is bringing it, what they say happened, and who they accuse.

Can’t think of anything?

How should the participants behave?

This show rebuilds itself from product telemetry analysis and human feedback within hours. Every piece of feedback is answered here – with the change it produced, or with the court’s reasons for declining it.

From recent hearings

Improved

Feedback: The captions were in front of the lawyer, the evidence screen was too small and too dark to see, the fox was drawn as a human, the insults were flat, and the prediction pause broke up the trial.

Captions moved out of the courtroom, evidence twice the size, one uninterrupted trial

The words now sit in their own band under the room, so they can never cover a speaker or the evidence again
The evidence screen is about twice as big, brighter, and stays on the wall instead of vanishing after one line
The trial plays start to finish with no pause — your verdict is a one-tap call in the footer you can ignore

Improved

Feedback: On a wide screen the caption bubble covered the speaking barrister entirely and hid the claimant's face.

Captions stopped covering the speakers on wide screens

The courtroom now keeps its shape on very wide windows instead of stretching flat
Captions grow upward into empty wall, never downward over whoever is talking

Improved

Feedback: Captions floated up by the judge instead of near the speakers, things covered the evidence, the camera zoomed around too much, and the judge spoke too slowly.

One steady view, captions beside speakers, a faster court

Captions now appear next to whoever is speaking, not floating by the judge
Nothing stands in front of the evidence screen any more
The camera no longer zooms around — the whole courtroom stays in view
