...how were legal matters handled?
Did everyone agree on this method?
Why did they stop? Why did they start again?
From Wikipedia on Rosh Hashanah: "...the Sanhedrin, which had not existed since ancient times. A recent group of Orthodox rabbis in Israel claiming to constitute a modern Sanhedrin held, for the first time in many years, an Orthodox shofar-blowing on Shabbat for Rosh Hashana in 2006."

There are rabbinical courts but they are used mainly by Orthodox Jews

Well, please note that it says 'claiming' to be the Sanhedrin.
It was quite disputed and is currently, I believe, not acknowledged.
