It's just an observation post...

Waiting for trials was always a horrid affair. However I find trials to be very much desirable and fun to be involved in.

You could always set up a "court date" system whereby you confiscate a large sum of gold or a valuable item(s) and let the person go. If they show up for their scheduled court date and are proven innocent they receive their items back. If they fail to show up they forfiet their items, assumed guilty and are hunted accordingly.

This way while they are crippled for a time in that they've had some belongings taken, they can still interact with those around them. Though I guess I have to echo that all of this could be achieved in game.

If this is the one in the Mines you're referring to I have to disagree. There's a very good reward that drops 100% of the time on that quest in the form of gold. It's a difficult quest to be sure.

But the reward is more than worthwhile provided it's shared out/you aren't going through the quest with a massive army of people who aren't really contributing much to the fight.

How about a band of Cartographers mapping the underdark areas surrounding the city. This would allow them to experience the nasty monsters to be found in the wild and also see the various quests dotted about.
