People's Courts are a type of judicial system that emerged in various countries, particularly during times of social upheaval or revolution. They are often established to address grievances of the common people and provide a platform for resolving disputes outside the traditional legal framework. These courts aim to promote justice and fairness, often focusing on community involvement and participation. Typically, People's Courts operate with simplified procedures and may not adhere strictly to formal legal standards. They can be found in different forms, such as local tribunals or informal gatherings, and are often associated with movements advocating for social change, like the Chinese Communist Party during the Chinese Civil War.
