Judgment Day
Thursday, September 25, 2008
Final day of jury duty today. My experience reinforces what I've always intellectually understood: justice (karmic or otherwise) is a negotiation. In it, there are no "balls and strikes" and the phrase "activist judges" has virtually no meaning. Justice is all about applying inadequate guidelines while assessing an inadequate amount of evidence in the hopes of adequately solving an unsolvable problem. But hey--at least it sometimes involves 12 people instead of just one. I'd hate to be a judge.
And yet, I tend to be incredibly judgmental. It's a paradox.
