Abstract
Smart contracts are blockchain contracts which are self-enforced and self-executed. The concept of self-execution highly relates to an alternative system of justice rather the traditional court system. Thus, the smart contracts swift the concept of justice established by the state to an alternative form of justice which can be termed user self-controlled justice. Formal definitions as well as working conditions of the latter concept should be developed if an innovative and decentralized environment operating on this type of justice is to be deployed. Additionally, a key factor of the legal framework and regulatory environment is the trust from interested parties. Thus, if conflicts arise during smart contract formulation or execution, then the several parameters influencing mediation process should be objectively addressed. Underlying this work is the argument that dispute resolution services in general and mediation in particular should operate not only under well-established regulatory rules but also under rules pertaining to the behaviour of the parties involved since automation can contribute to self-determination based on values and norms of said parties. We propose a system architecture for smart contracts where the mediation process incorporates functional aspects such as previous related cases, visualization options, and legal context, but also behavioral ones such as emotional entity similarity and digital trust.
