I'm sure every clan had there own set of laws that flowed from one central source, be it the Cannons or the Codex. Laws put fourth by governments of mandalor controlled planets were very different and were probably the same laws that were around before the planets fell under mandalorian rule.
I would say that a clan leader dispensed justice in his clan, possibly electing to form a tribunal. I'm sure that would be dependent on the personality of the leader and his relationship with the men and women within his clan. I don't see any sort of JAG office as that would imply a characteristic in Mandalorian society that we haven't seen a whole lot of...office work =D
There are Pleaders on Concord Dawn that are the same thing as Lawyers, but again that's a civilian office.
While that may be true, the Mandos now, especially, do not use rank. To quote the article from SWI-
"With the exception of the Mandalore, rankings never correspond to a fixed rank- a concept they find hard to accept"
"For a people who appear to have little interest in rank and hierarchy, Mandalorians are extremely co-operative in combat. The rugged individuality so marked in their approach to most things is set aside to reach a common goal, and they'll do whatever it takes to achieve their objective. Their fighting forces settle into informal command structures almost without thought or effort, focused on the outcome and not personal ambition. This instinctive flexibility is also what makes them superb mercenaries."
So this means they had no heirarchy, but still had their leader- which is what I was getting at. The only real costume difference should be if someone makes themselves Mandalore- but that'd mean leading everyone on these forums
And I think the Mandalores would be closer to the Spartans of greece- as they had the same mindset, practices, and behavior.
Finally, a day in the life of a mandalor would most likely either be working on a farm, rallying to the Mandalore, or fighting in war- as mandalores traditionally only fight when rallied, and usually tend to the homestead first rather than adventure.
If our soldiers are warriors, why have a military police?
answer- because even warriors can commit crimes.
The flaw in your logic lies in the idea that every mando will obey the laws set by the mandalore. If someone breaks that law, someone must be of position to uphold it and rectify the problem.
Likewise, the military has its own police- as the soldiers need to obey the law, and if that law is broken, then the MPs will sort it out, not other soldiers.
Why do you care so much? By a culture of this sort, a police system isn't needed, but is more or less an extension of the military.The flaw in your logic lies in the idea that every mando will obey the laws set by the mandalore.

I dont. Im just correcting a factual error based on readings of Open Seasons and Karen Traviss' work.
While it may be true that the Journey Man Protector's were an extention of the Military, it was needed, as demonstrated in Open Seasons, where Jango's own family was murdered by rogue mando's.
So Karen Traviss is wrong, even though she made the Mandalorian Language, and helped make Mandalorians what they are now...sounds good....
