The Association of Digital American Magistrates is a private, chartered body of neutrals — convened online, on the record, with enforceable outcomes. AI-assisted but never AI-led. Admitted in cohorts of fifty.
A judge is not a person who merely applies rules. A judge is a person who holds the room.— Founding Charter, § 1.3 · Adopted 17 March 2026
That is the gap ADAM is chartered to close. A credentialed body, backed by AI tooling but never AI-led, can absorb the disputes traditional courts cannot.
Unresolved civil matters filed in the United States each year.
United States ADR market. Projected $30B by 2032.
Lost annually to U.S. workplace conflict alone.
Court median time to disposition — ADAM's pilot: 14 days.
A twelve-week residency for the next cohort of digital magistrates.
Rigorous, standard-setting training. AI-assisted simulations built from real, anonymised matter files. The credential is not a certificate of completion — it is a license to hear matters under the ADAM seal.
A private association of certified magistrates, in continuous session.
Continuing education, peer supervision, case referrals, and a feedback loop that makes every magistrate measurably better with each matter. Members hold one another to the doctrine — privately, in writing, on the record.
A consumer-facing service: file a matter, get matched, hold a hearing.
Fast, affordable, and held to the same procedural-justice standard as the most rigorous in-person mediation. Three-tier pricing — sponsored, sliding-scale, and standard — keeps the door open across income levels.
We are convening the first standing body of digital magistrates in the United States. The credential is the thing. Applications close on 21 July 2026.
