Well...

I started the article you ask me to write about Shattered World. ;)
I am hoping to get back to it this week or next. 

Briefly, SW has a player run justice system.  There are laws, CFJ's (Calls for
Judgement), a constable, etc.  CFJ's for when someone believes a law has been
broken, then a Magistrate hears the case and delivers a judgement, depending 
on the punishment the constable should be the one to enforce the judgement. 

We've had a couple of "major" incidents recently. The last one ended in 
I-am-leaving-the-mud-and-not-comming-back, from a long time player. He came back. :)
Another one was an embezzlement case, from our resident lawyer/land baron/banker/
lets-find-a-loophole-in-the-law-and-see-how-long-it-takes-to-get-caught. :)
