Judges and juries are for establishing just action. If we care about just action then we use a judge and jury. It is inconvenient and imperfect, but it's better than trusting individuals. That's why we do it. Not because it's the governmenty thing to do

Do you believe in free association? Do you think people should be forced to associate with people they do not want to? Suppose someone got off legally due to a technicality but anyone paying attention with common sense knew that person was guilty? Should I be forced to associate with such a person? Suppose one of those people applies for a job as science teacher for a middle school; should that middle school be forced to hire such a person?
