Delivering the Justice System
The 3L Philosophy does not prescribe a specific justice system
- Most important is that the Legal Principle is adopted in people’s hearts and minds.
- We need a justice system that is compatible with the 3L Principle to secure compensation for victims of aggressors.
- If all laws are in harmony with the Legal Principle and all disputes are handled in jurisdictions (by court(s) or without going to court) that operate according to well-established due process concepts, it does not matter exactly who is making or enforcing the laws, whether it be a locally elected sheriff, national police, military or even a global or even an alien police force.
- So long as weapons are used for self defense, there is no violation of the Legal Principle.
- Though the laws themselves need urgent realignment with the Legal Principle, much of the ways that the justice system functions today can be replicated by a free society. We are fortunate that many people of goodwill generally did a great job at arriving at our current major jurisprudential principles that have evolved from the foundation provided by the Roman and English common law doctrines.
Components of a Justice System
- Courts, judges, arbitrators, police and border security services can all be provided privately, as can the means of punishing aggressors and foreign policy. There are many ways these can be voluntarily funded.
- The process of administering, adjudicating and enforcing laws in a free society can be modelled on much of the legal procedures that exist today. Civil law, including contract law, property law, tort law and trials, appeals and evidence law all function well already.
- There are many simple ways to avoid abuse of power in the legal system, including separating the legislative, executive and judicial branches, and using juries.
- No institution enjoys a coercive monopoly over law or enforcement. Individuals are free to select competing arbitral providers and protection agencies. Arbitration bodies and courts, with the consent of their clients, may agree on the establishment of courts of appeal and appellate courts to solve disputes between arbitral providers and protection agencies.
Eliminating unnecessary costs of the Justice System
- Removing laws against victimless crimes will greatly lower the cost of the justice system. Victimless crimes detract resources from administering justice against actual aggressors and unnecessarily create a crushing volume of cases that overwhelm current justice systems, many of which stem from the foolish war on drugs.
