Why isn’t there some resource available for judges to ask a reasonable amount of technical questions to an impartial third party?
I could easily imagine them pulling a consultant from CISA or something for this particular case.
- dylan604 3y agoIsn't it the prosecutor's job to make the case? If that means remedial explanations to the judge and/or jury, that's their job. At least with a jury, then can maybe figure some of this out during the selection process. I also seriously doubt that the lawyers for either side have not done research into the judge's case history to see what prior decisions have been made. I actually am somewhat encouraged by the judge asking rather than faking it.

They can also use a less formal "technical advisor": https://files.klgates.com/files/publication/bf2e184f-05cd-4fe3-a921-7b7f8f6e0b38/presentation/publicationattachment/5fe6d918-2bb2-4a2d-bfc1-8e00a8897688/antitrust_alert_06022016.pdf https://files.klgates.com/files/publication/bf2e184f-05cd-4f...
