Yep, though courts will eventually be emulated by a consensus network as well - judged by random oracles (paid jury duty essentially), and any contract can be automatically verified to comply with many others. In the end it won't be anything more special than "we digitized Law", but hey - that's gonna open a lot of doors economically for what is otherwise a very pricey process mostly reserved for richer members of society. When you can automatically iterate through thousands of contracts to check they all comply with each other "legally" - that's value. We can also do digital voting with guarantees of one-person-one-vote now, so it's not much of a leap to see where that might go.
