The differences between Jewish Law and the law of the land is applied only where Jewish Law is stricter or in areas of ritual observance.
Generally speaking, Jews are required to follow the local laws so long as they don't violate Jewish Law.
A beit din is a Jewish court of 3 judges. Monetary disputes between 2 Jews or even between a jew and gentile can be brought beofre a beit din for judgment according to Jewish Law. In most US state, this decision is not enforcable or at best considered as arbitration. The advantage to going to a Beit Din is time. While a civil law suit can take years to ejudicate, a Beit Din can handle it within days or even hours. In cases involving Jews and Gentiles, believe it or not, Gentiles tend to win more than they lose.

The beauty of Orthodox Judaism is to be able to keep the laws of G-d as He intended them to be. In essence, these laws are not really different from from the gentile laws of the land. They shalt not kill, is an example. Orthodox Jews follow the laws of the land but also keep the important spiritual laws that makes it a unique experience.
As to a Beis Din, these three judges are well learned and are able to legally solve disputes, but act in the same fairness that the US constitution (or any constitution) is based on.
In other worlds: They are based on the same principle.

First of all, there are all kinds of religious law differences. But in civil law, if a Jew and a non-Jew go to court, we go to an American court. If it's 2 Jews, we go to Bais Din, which is a court of 3 learned male judges. There are no lawyers, the judges ask questions, you bring witnesses, and they decide who's right.
