Workplace Tribunals

The separation of executive and judicial powers is 
an essential part of good government.  Why not try 
this at work?  The boss, instead of settling 
disputes on her own, could set up a small panel of 
jurors (maybe like the courts in ancient Athens). 

The jurors could be selected in many ways (by the 
parties to the dispute, by management, by all the 
employees, etc.).  The exact selection process, as 
well as the powers of the "court", could be 
determined by constitution-style document.

Would a boss who adopted such an internal court 
system manage employees more fairly?  Would it 
make the office a better place to work, thus 
improving productivity?
