You designate them upfront. Just trade with someone else if you don't like that guy's court. There'd most probably be an app for that ;)

But what if the app author doesn't agree with your court choices?

  Then you use another app that you think is better or just develop one yourself.

Jandrese's original comment was about a disagreement with a neighbour, not a trade issue. Are you supposed to pick up and move if you don't like your neighbour's court? Most things that hit the courts are not trade issues, for that matter.

  > Are you supposed to pick up and move if you don't like your neighbour's court No you aren't. Maybe you check this guy's reputation or you make a contract before you buy a property close to him. Good neighborhood contracts (I don't recall the name right now) are common international politics, see the original article. If the guy's a reasonable person, he'll want to resolve it as well. If he's a villain, you'll have supporters throughout your community because you won't be his first victim. Start your embargo if you want. > Most things that hit the courts are not trade issues, for that matter. They aren't today because municipality / state laws act like additional clauses to your contract even if they are not mentioned in the contract. But if you make this stuff explicit, many things become contract (not trade) issues. There's btw no reason not to have a property that has exactly the same laws as the US today and allow people to enter it unless they disrespect the laws. The current system can live within a libertarian land, but not the other way round. Libertarian land is the more general one.

    Maybe the asshole moves in next to you and recognizes none of your courts. This solution is insane and will never work in real life.

Most likely, you would have to deposit a cash bond with a reasonably reputable court system advertising jurisdiction over civil disputes under some commonly published standard, and you would have to explicitly agree to grant them automatic jurisdiction over claims not exceeding a threshold amount, before anyone would put any of their own money at risk to deal with you. You would have a hard time getting a job or obtaining credit without some demonstration that you can be responsible and individually accountable for your actions. If your neighbor won't go to court, you have to weigh the consequences of possibly violent escalation. There is no cure for bad neighbors, with or without government-run courts.
