It's the practical-ish solution for individuals seeking monetary remedies too low in proportion to attorney fees, and requiring more legally binding enforcement measures than those provided by mediation/arbitration. The ish suffix indicates that it's not the democratized "people's court" that everyone thinks it is... We've found that it's not very useful for low-income, immigrant or shy folks which either don't feel confident enough, or are so ensnared by the legal system that they never think small claims court a viable solution for their problems.

elena55 [62]

Explanation:

The relative positions of the stars, their configurations, the constellations, remain unchanged while the whole celestial sphere rotates daily, making the stars rise in the east and set in the west like the sun and the moon. This daily motion, of course, is only apparent; it reflects the rotation of the earth.
