Are you sure there have been no courts in other societies? A scene such as Solomon's Judgement neatly resembles that Ancient Mediterraneans highly valued the resolution of disputes through the arbitartion of a court. Even if it is probably completely a-historical, Solomon's Judgment reflects the general judicial conceptions in Israelite society.

I think that there is a misunderstanding here. If I gave the impression that there are no courts elsewhere, this is clearly wrong. Many societies have courts. It is the emphasis put on them, and their nature, which is distinctive. Alan

@ayabaya Can you explain the difference between the word Person(a) and a living breathing flesh and blood Man/Woman please ?...Also, is a Statue (act) from Parliament only given the force of law by consent ?, as we are Governed by consent..

A court is not the judge, building, attorneys, plaintiff or defendant, it is the process; the paperwork that makes it a court. Without the process there is no court.
