bench trial only?

that sucks

sometimes xD

depending on the case

We judges

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

That rarely happens tbh

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
