I think I'd rather see a voluntary jury system, one that compensates you or provides some other incentives for serving the full time required. Why would you ever want to be judged by a jury of your peers that don't even want to be there and aren't paying attention and just want to get out as fast as possible because they feel they're stuck there for some bullshit reason?

Well, what are some examples of countries that don't do jury trials? How does that work out for them, compared to us?

Are there term limits on judges and prosecutors?
