Private Justice Systems
Here's a great example of a private justice system providing value to litigants on an entirely voluntary basis. I think that if we just mine daily events, we will find enough proof that voluntary systems do exist and make a lot of sense.
Would love to hear people's comments.

Voluntary systems make a lot of sense in reducing the case-load of a stressed judiciary system. I wonder if plea-bargaining counts as a voluntary system? Non-standard judicial/arbitration systems become undesirable when they are not completely voluntary. They could also become ineffective when they are not able to enforce their decision in a case.

Good points. Enforcing decisions are not that hard when one follows the route of contracts. For example, even now, civil courts require both parties to submit a certain amount of money to the court should settlement go either way.
