Yeah, that's the one thing that I don't quite grasp about AC. I don't see how you can have justice without coercion. You can say that both parties would agree to respect the court's decision, but if I shot a guy, what incentive is there for me to agree to stand before any court? And once you have private courts using coercion to arrest murderers, I don't see what is stopping MADD from starting their own courts to go after drunks and drug abusers and religious nuts going after abortion doctors, etc etc.

And what exactly is the alternative? Are there going to be vigilantes going after anyone who doesn't submit to a court? That doesn't sound very voluntary to me.
