I would think that Limsa's trials are probably not that more fair than others: if you are a wealthy captain with many connections and political leverage, or if you are just a lominsan sailor...
If they have trials to begin with...
For Ul'dah I would actually expect them not to force anyone with a lawyer (unlike Isghard) : you can afford one, or you can't.
If they have even lawyers to begin with...
For warnings, kerp in mind that's typically an american thing. I don't think Eorzea is America.
Actually I think that trying to equate Eorzean laws and trials with contemporary concepts is a slippery slope... Even detectives. We have Briardien ingame yes, but he is also presented as an oddity rather than a common thing.
How do city states resolve crimes I think? Isghard actually does that with trials by combat or religious inquisitory requests to the Holy See (as seen in the MSQ). They couldnt care less about the truth, but more about appearance and/or political implications. The testimony of a noble vs the word of a commoner, etc.
Why would it be different with the other ones? Detectives are oddities and probably not a thing/rare and not actually part of the law and even less of the system. Keep in mind that actual rational investigation is a pretty modern thing even IRL.Â
The only case where I could see them operate is either for private contractors or behind the scene for governments on sensitive cases. But they probably have no legal leeway in the case of actual justice.
