Bruce Benson said it worked on the wagon trains, each of the two parties picked a choice and the two choices picked a third. In a crimnal case you have two sides the state and the defedent, in an appeals case you could go directly to a three panel appeals court, with the supreme court the two sides could pick 3 justices each and the 6 justices pick 3 more, unamious decesion would be required in appeals. Parties involved in the case could have a choice of 4 venues of which to pick their choices, 1 choice would be on the courts payroll or they could pick a nonprofit private judge, or they could pick a forprofit private judge or they could pick a radomely slected citizen volunter. Of course a qualification of passing a written exam could be required to serve as a judge.--- In [email protected], Jon Roland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > terry12622000 wrote: > > > one of the big mistakes was having politicans appoint judges, > >electing judges by a simple majority vote is not a good idea either. > >Allowing the parties involved in a case pick the judge is a much > >better idea. > > > Been tried.
