And I for one would much rather NOT have the judges come from the general public. Law schools don’t guard against unequal justice. If I’m not mistaken there are blatantly Christian law schools. Gee if the law is blind, why would these types of law schools even exist, or be allowed to exist? Because of the myth of equal justice.Christian law schools train students the same as any other schools. A lawyer from Georgetown isn't a catholic supremacist just because he went to a catholic university. A lawyer from Yale might be extremely religious even though they went to a secular school.
There is something to the idea that judges should not be “regular people” but I think that would set a dangerous precedent against democracy in the long term.
