#106687 - Magistrates Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Joseph Hebert said:
If I were making up the rules, I would not allow lawyers to be judges. I would not allow anyone with a law degree, or some maximum number of hours of law school, to be a judge. In the UK in the very lowest court this is exactly what we have. It is called a magistrates court and the magistrate is just a citizen of good standing who receives some very basic training. A lawyer is present to advise the magistrates on the law and sentencing but the judgements are made by the magistrates. Ian |
