I agree with you, some people are well undereducated to take up such a crucial role—I sometimes think that some people are so dumb they shouldn’t be allowed to vote, actually (and I’m French, so I had a <i>lot</i> to think about lately ;-)...). But in the end, aren’t they the representatives of the people, in the name of whom justice is given? I don’t know how it goes in the US, perhaps you could shed some light on this, but in the French legal system, all judgements begin with “In the name of the French people”, etc. And they might be dumb, but... Well, smart people are a minority. But don’t you think it has this small advantage to bring plurality of views and arguments?

I am deeply interested in neurtheology and will be reading through all of your posts over the next days I imagine. I help maintain a neuroscience news website (www.neurosciencenews.com) and a clinical psychology website (www.clinicallypsyched.com), and would love it if you would join up to our new forums. I also would love to use some of your links on the websites if you wouldn’t mind. If so, I would also like to post any new articles you write regarding neurotheology and neuroscience to the site. Thanks for sharing the great information and good luck with everything. - Dr. D. I just found this blog and am very impressed.

For example, the phrase “proximate cause,” an important concept in assessing fault in tort cases, has been eliminated, because, say the drafters of the new instructions, juries confuse it with “approximate” and “proximity.” It’s ironic that our “solution” to jurors who can’t understand legal principles is an attempt to eliminate technical legal terms with specific meanings, rather than to eliminate the ignorant jurors. My students are always quite surprised to learn how often judges grant “Motions for Judgment Nothwithstanding the Verdict” because jurors “got it wrong.” They ask, as they should, why then we even have juries at all.
