The court of public opinion :)
That system fails unprivileged people though. Even if the "privilege" is "a number of Twitter followers".
That's probably why a tradition of more formal courts arose. But they probably worked better when they operated at a communal scale.
Think: "walk down the road to the courtroom on the second Wednesday of the month and wait your turn" and if you win, you get to boast about it at the pub for a few weeks: "can you believe ol' Jon thought he could pull the wool over my eyes?! Ha! Shame on him! He had to pay me for two days labor, the bastard!"
I wonder how we bring some of that convenience and public shaming back?
My sense is that there's not enough personal accountability because the courts and companies are too big for "ol' Jon" to held to account.
