The problem is that there really isn’t a much better way to do it.

You've never actually interacted with any attorneys in your entire life have you?
You truly think lawyers are impartial? Seriously?
I mean have you not paid attention to anything since Trump took office in terms of the left judge shopping and Boasberg tossing injunctions left and right only to have damn near all of them overturned on appeal because they're blatantly partisan decisions?
And you think that won't happen like a motherfricker if juries were all professional lawyers?
I mean just get rid of juries at that point and let judges decide everything since they're "impartial" right?
God damn. Are people incapable of second and third order thinking anymore?
I’m not sure why a civil conversation is so difficult for you. The foul language says far more about your character than your argument ever could. I work with corporate attorneys, not ambulance chasers, so I’m used to professionalism. I’m genuinely sorry if your past experiences have conditioned you otherwise.
And yes — a professional jury would be incredible. No emotions, as you are prone to grace us with.

Okay. Now imagine the activist class takes over this profession.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea for some complex civil cases, including most med mal.

Apologies if I imagine these people to be more like engineers than impulsive children.

They could absolutely do it better when it comes to sitting around for 12 hours to find out if you’re on a jury or not. Leftist havens like BR could actually deter crime to lower the possibility of us law abiding citizens having to waste time in the jury duty clown show.

My limited experience made me realize that many people will just go the way that gets them out of the jury room the fastest.

Just because the people on here can be "special" abortion is never the alternative. It's not a funny joke. Women, playing God, with the lives of the unborn are absolutely horrific. Emotional messes.

That would work about as well as professional politicians has.

Live a clean, smart life and never get yourself into those situations.
I guess this proves OP’s point anyway, doesn’t it? We need pro jurors.

I applaud you for picking up on the partial sarcasm in my posts. I DO think professional jurors are a good thing. Having the government sort that out is a bad thing. As I previously stated "A jury of your peers" is no longer a thing. Those on trial are not my peers. Thank you for being considerate with me.
