Courts of Justice

Human beings are required to establish Law Courts, or Courts of Justice, to maintain the Seven Laws of Noah. It is pointless to call the Seven Laws "laws" if there are no courts to enforce them when necessary. However, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to observe this commandment in the United States of America - for example, the Constitution of the United States, by allowing "freedom of religion," allows idolatrous practices to be the norm. B'nei Noach cannot, under the laws of the land, establish courts that would mete out punishment for transgression of the Seven Noachide Laws. Fortunately, observant B'nei Noach, when facing litigation between themselves over most issues (with the possible
exception being murder/homicide or manslaughter, which is in the jurisdiction of the civil courts of the land), can choose to take their case before a Beis Din, an orthodox Jewish Court, which is halakhically (legally, technically) required to rule in these matters. In this manner, B'nei Noach are observing some of the aspects of this prohibition.
