Why can’t judicial systems just get more funding? Surely they aren’t that expensive? You just have to rent the space, and pay the employees (all of which probably don’t make that much money).
Surely some money from the military could pay for that?
- JumpCrisscross 8y ago> pay the employees (all of which probably don’t make that much money). Court are packed with lawyers. The only thing buttressing against the sky-high compensation a good lawyer can make in the private sector is the political opportunity clerking and working in a court can open up. These aren't people one goes cheap on.
- behringer 8y agoYou collect more fees with the more hearings you host. It would be trivial to increase the size of the justice system. However, the system as it stands now is ideal for huge trillion dollar companies.
- mruts 8y agoAccording to google, public prosecutors make a median salary of $81,000. So maybe like two-thirds as much as an average software engineer? Doesn't sound that expensive. Also, they get to cash in after working in the public sector for awhile, so in essence they get deferred comp from the private sector.
