They probably already do. Most jurisdictions have rotating pager duty. The on call judge is called the duty judge.
Imagine a discussion between cops and judges about secure software engineering without anyone knowing what a pointer is. That’s what legal discussions on HN are like.
- dataflow 5y agoI assure you I was under no illusion that it's impossible to reach any judge outside court hours. What I was trying to point out (and what you still seem to not be considering) was the sheer magnitude of the proposal. At some point it becomes a difference in kind, not just degree. Like imagine asking a dev to be on-call a handful of days during the year, vs. one day each week. The former is infrequent enough that many people would manage it fine; the latter really demands that you stop pulling them away from their normal job and start hiring people dedicated to that one. Now you could try to argue the scale is actually smaller than I expect, and I'd love to see numbers to that effect, but the numbers I've seen so far don't suggest that.
