The courts aren't any more opaque and inaccessible than, say, javascript.
- vikramkr 7y agoThat's still really really bad, since everyone needs to know how the laws that they interact with works for a functioning democracy, but nobody who uses a website needs to know how the code is written. Courts should be orders of magnitude more accessible to people (especially in a country where people are tried by the jury of their peers!) than anything even remotely involving technology to the extent that a comparison between the court system and javascript doesn't even make sense.
- buboard 7y ago90% of javascript is minimized/obfuscated. Imagine a society where 0.01% understands the law. Now imagine it calling itself “democracy”
- perl4ever 7y agoProbably 0.01% understand Javascript, but there are a heck of a lot of computers, and practically all of them have a web browser. Surely both programming and law are more accessible than at any prior time in the history of the universe.
