And you can have it right now in some types of cases and some
jurisdictions. The "professional jury" is a judge. Of course both sides
have to go along with it and the other side probably won't want to for the
same reasons you want to.


True, but you loose the collective objectivity of a group, to someone who is
far to often a narrow minded "know it all".
