Usually several
Bench trials have their advantages but trial by jury should be given as well.
rather be tried by my peers then by a judge with their own motivations
this made me wonder
Most judges are fair and balanced people. And they know the law well.
To be fair the jury is probably less familier with the law
is there such a thing as venue change in the uk?
They are trained in not being manipulated
Juries can be a weakpoint
judges are looking to the future, what job next, maybe a politician
ya but i would judge the two choices based on the knowledge the jury has and the judge has
Not always
certain amount of convictions in one type of criminal act make you look tough on that good for campaign
And judges *hate* other judges who weild power unjustly.
The legal system is very rigorous
At least in the US
legal system is fucked
I'll admit it has flaws. But it's good way more often than it's bad.
I think the main the problem with most legal systems in the west (especially the US) is that it's too dependent on money
The one with more money win isn't justice
I'm saying that based on the trials I heard about
Trials you have heard about are a tiny tiny tiny minority of all trials given.
Most Youtubers who been sued say they wouldn't have been able to handle it without so many people backing them up with money
Remeber to always know your sample size
that would be cases where people are suing each other
Torts need serious reform
Torts is the part of American justice that need the most work
whaats torts
I know the legal process can cost tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars for one side in one case. That's not anecdotal
a wrongful act or an infringement of a right (other than under contract) leading to civil legal liability.
You can't fight a legal battle if you can't pay 10k
Many lawyers will work for a cut of winnings though.
we have no win no charge lawyers here
I don't think it's just lawyers
And if you are defending there are no winnings
Court fees aren't owed typically until after it's settled
but we are talking about the law here not other things
@dasuberuser Seems like it wasn't the case with Youtubes
Consider that people lie
hopefully sargon will win his case soon
