Wouldn't that likely result in there being no neurodivergent judges? It would undermine the whole idea of "trial by peers" if neurodivergent people are being tried purely by neurotypical people.
- lostapathy 4y agoIt’s “a jury of peers” - that line says nothing about judges. And indeed, judges have very little in common with the common person they see in court.
- harimau777 4y agoSure, but it's still not really a democracy if the people judging or representing you don't reflect you.
- filoleg 4y agoI mean, 70+ years old judges don't represent or reflect people between ages of 20-30 either, but appointing people of that age to be judges isn't the solution. And that's ok. There are no judges representing people with borderline personality disorder, and I don't think this is a problem in need of a solution either. That's what the jury is for.
