VirtualCourthouse.com is an online dispute resolution service that was founded by Judge Arthur Monty M. Ahalt in 2001 in order to provide a less expensive and faster way to resolve legal disputes.[1] Today, disputing parties can choose from a directory listing over 300 neutrals, ranging from family mediators to construction arbitrators, and retired judges, who can mediate the dispute or render an arbitral award.[2] VirtualCourthouse.com has settled thousands of cases[3][4] across the United States .[5]

In 2009, it received the American Bar Association's Louis M. Brown Award for Legal Access for minimizing "the need and cost of unnecessary face-to-face meetings, mailing and copying" during the ADR process.[6]

In 2012, VirtualCourthouse.com entered into partnerships with the video-conferencing provider IOCOM[7] as well as with Auburn University.[8]
