I'm wondering how courts would function in a stateless society without coercion. Let's say someone embezzles money from me, and I want to sue him.

I think one should first how conflicts are solved usually. You'll find out that -in 90% of the cases- they are anyway resolved without a formal court. I see the problem with your example, but then there are similar problems with state-run courts as well. Let's assume the person was identified...
