definition: Courts lie at one end of a spectrum of triadic conflict processing devices that ranges from go-betweens to mediators to arbitrators to judges. Running across most societies, there appears to be a fundamental logic of calling in a third to assist two persons experiencing a conflict that they cannot resolve for themselves.
