Overview

One of the primary structures a community requires is an issue resolution system, existing developed societies use legal systems as a structure method to achieve this but those systems are often do not serve all members equally, those viewed as more worthy, who have wealth or connections achieve better outcomes than those who don't. The systems are often inefficient and underfunded resulting in a lack of justice served.

Legal systems create another concentration of power which attracts evil and hinders distribution of power.

Assignment of Guilt

Modern legal systems obtain a guilty or not guilty verdict regardless of how clear evidence of wrongdoing is, there might be a stated assumption of innocence but in practice when presented with possible letting a guilty party off the hook, a guilty verdict is chosen when guilt has not been proven. A more effective system could apply more varied verdicts to allow for real world ambiguity.

Sortition

When distribution of power is an important goal for a society, sortition is an effective way of mitigating concentrated power while not requiring all members to participate in a decision.
