  1. Criminal courts, if they exist (some thinkers reject the need for criminal justice as such), work in much the same way as in an ordinary state, given their independence from other branches of government and the minimality of criminal norms (they are limited to protecting fundamental human rights).

    Other courts are a system of competing non-State courts. When entering into a particular transaction, you agree with the counterparty in which court you will resolve possible disputes. Non-state courts can be set up as you like, work according to any procedure and apply any rules (even the norms of ancient Rome, even Muslim law, even African customs, even the Star Wars Trade Federation). That is, you voluntarily choose to follow the decision of a particular court. If you suddenly change your mind at the last moment, there may be two solutions. Or don't do anything about it, because such behavior will hurt your business reputation and no one else will have anything to do with you. Or back up the decision of a non-state court with the power of the state and force you to follow your own choice. This is also practiced.
