    Jury's are also needed, especially in cases where the relevence of a certain sector of modern society is paramount to either the case as a whole, the defence or the prosecution. It adds empathy to Law in cases which need it most.
    The first statement is true.
    The second statement is arguably true or false, but plausibly true.
    The third statement is true.

    The second paragraph is questionable. It is stated empathy is needed for cases, yet in the first paragraph the second and third statements appear as contradiction. Then naturally -- following the trail I see here -- the validity of having juries is questionable. And what do you mean by "cases which need it most?"


    Holistically, practising the law is not about justice, being just, being fair, etc. Add the following (stated by KafirChobee): law does not equate to justice. When I test this expression it is true.

    Generally I still stand by my earlier statement of disallowing lawyers and juries for possible reasons already mentioned.

    Emotion, passions, and desires are, thus peace is not.
    Emotion: you have it or it has you.
