Not the grain, millet. A system of sectarian courts under the Ottoman Empire, not simply restricted to counseling members of religious groups about personal matters like divorces, but very substantially adjudicating civil matters within the walls of religious communities. Separate groups like Latin, Greek, other Christian, Jewish, administered their own customary law, but all under Sharia as an overlord justice system. Religious subjects ran their own law, as long as non-Muslims gave way on the sidewalk, acknowledged the superiority of Muslims in public life, didn't have better clothes, didn't build higher houses, paid their jizya religious tax.
This is the future, in Germany, France, Italy, most of Europe. How long before the Millet system will prevail in North America?
But I know the difference between a lawyer and an onion....

You cry when you cut an onion.
sliced? peeled? crushed? juiced?
