A quick definition of people's court:

People's Court: A court where people can solve small problems. It is also a group of regular people who decide what happens to someone who did something wrong. In some countries, this group is made up of people who are not lawyers and may not know how to read or write. In Nazi Germany, it was a special court that punished people for political reasons.

A more thorough explanation:

A people's court is a type of court where individuals can resolve small disputes. It is also known as a small-claims court. This type of court is used for cases that involve small amounts of money or property.

For example, if someone owes you money for a service you provided, you can take them to a people's court to resolve the issue. The court will hear both sides of the story and make a decision based on the evidence presented.

In some countries, a people's court is a group of non-lawyer citizens who are called upon to pass judgment or impose punishment on the accused criminal. These citizens are often illiterate commoners who are chosen to serve on the court because of their knowledge of the community and their ability to make fair decisions.

For example, in some tribal communities, a people's court may be convened to resolve disputes between members of the community. The court may be made up of elders or respected members of the community who are chosen to serve on the court.

In Nazi Germany, a people's court was a tribunal that dealt with political offenses. This court was used to suppress opposition to the Nazi regime and to punish those who spoke out against the government.

Overall, a people's court is a type of court that is used to resolve small disputes and is often made up of non-lawyer citizens who are chosen to serve on the court.
