1. Random assignment of judges to cases.

I can definitely see the benefits, but don't we also want judges to have domain knowledge?



It's the job of the belligerents to make their case in a way any juror or judge would be able to understand. They and their expert witnesses are to bring their domain knowledge, and to present it in a way a jury of peers would be able to interpret.


We don’t care if juries have domain expertise, why should we care if judges have it? The trade off of high efficiency risks corruption IMO favors lower efficiency.
