I looked over the Cases pending list and they mostly look like civil matters. Here is but one example:

So why are civil torts and lawsuits being pursued... or even accepted... by a court at Guantanamo?
Exactly. In civil cases, when they break for lunch, the parties are free to leave the courthouse and go to any restaurant of their choice. People in orange jumpsuits don't have that freedom.
I'm guessing it's part of a RICO thing where you use civil cases to prove/support criminal charges.
