I think of The Moon is a Harsh Mistress and how on that colony they didn't have any particular laws. If there was a problem, either man could accuse the other and find a third party to act as judge. After hearing the case, the judge would give a one time verdict. I have to go back to the book to fill out the nuances, but it was an interesting idea that didn't rely on tomes of preexisting rules and let the community deal with problems as they arose.
