Judgment of Evidence
The judge in a digital court is required to act the same way as in a traditional paper court. In cases with a jury, the judge is responsible for insuring that the law is followed, and the jury determines the facts. In cases without a jury, the judge also is the finder of fact. Before the jury begins its deliberations about the facts in the case, the judge gives the jury instructions about the law that applies to the case and the standards it must use in deciding the case. The judge must also determine the facts and decide the case. The judge is to determine whether any of the evidence that the parties want to use is illegal or improper.
It is important; that the jobs of the judge and jury remain the same, as they are now, No need to change this. What is changed is when and how they do it. The trial begins when the judge receives the electronic digital files, from the clerk’s office, which the litigants have made. The clerk’s office is in charge of the case as it moves through the court; they determine the judge and jury that will hear the case. Since the litigants have put their case together before the trial begins, proclaiming everything they want to. They will not be needed in step two and three. Their electronic digital files will take their place; and are self-explanatory and should have enough information, for the judge, and jury to do their jobs with, but just to be sure, the judge may ask questions of the litigants. This should be shared with all parties involved with the case. All communications between the judge, and all parties, in either direction will be printed, recorded and saved, then relayed through the clerk office. The litigants would receive the questions without revealing the judge’s identity, so the judge can remain anonymous. We envision the judge sitting in their office, or a cubicle, “alone”, watching a computer monitor, reviewing the files that were created by the litigants involved in the case. The judge can spend more time evaluating the case, focused on doing a better job, without worrying about crowd control, in the confusion of the court room. They can compare the files very carefully that are on the court computer to make sure they haven’t been edited to distort the words of a witness, and the testimony is supported by evidence. Also the jury would not see or hear things they are not supposed to, since they are not with the judge and haven’t been selected yet; in a traditional court, this can be challenging for the judge with the jury being there. The judge can edit out anything inappropriate for the jury, to see or hear; according to the law, but there will be a record of what the judge has removed. Every case that comes to court is a story with different interpretations and complexities. It should be part of the job of a judge to oversee the amount of time necessary to tell that story, keeping it short, as possible. There are no laws about this only are suggestion. Once the judge has approved the digital files as truthful and honest, and approvs them, the trial continues to the jury. The judge that was assigned the case would give their verdict, including their Jury instructions. All of this should be return to the clerk’s office, by the judge when they have completed their task.
Testing will of course be required. Simple justice court is ready now. Please contact our government and demand an upgrade to our broken justice system.
