Court Innovations' Matterhorn Allows People to Handle Court Cases Online


Low-income people often miss out on court dates because they cannot afford to miss work or leave their children.

The system also offers the advantage of having “less bias” than in-person trials, because the race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status of the individual is protected online.
