While I wouldn't recommend it with the current state of laws within the United States, the judicial system could (theoretically) be privately run. When you think about it, all the judiciary is supposed to do is make judgements based on the legal framework that has been created by the legislative branch of the government, or precedence set by a higher court, so as long as the legislative branch and supreme court are managed in the best interests of citizens lower courts could be privatized. Unfortunately, when you have multi-thousand page laws  full of contradictory and poorly written rules it is unlikely that a private business would be able to consistently judge cases.

I could theoritically quit my job and peddle acorns on the streets, but that would also be a stupid.

Please explain why you think it would be stupid?

Certainly, there may be some issues with ensuring objectivity and neutrality but I don’t think they’re inherently worse than judges who are elected or appointed.
