@marinklevy In Australia the great majority of law graduates are undergraduates and hence graduate with a LL.B. The JD is a recent addition to Australian law schools over the past 20 or so years and is still significantly outnumbered by LL.B graduates.

@jeremy_gans That’s a good question. It’s irrelevant but I’d want further questioning of the jury. Can the juror/s still be impartial? Can he or she still be fair?

[Dominic Nguyen @Dominic_Nguyen]

@kixes He’s a comedian. It’s a joke. Lighten up.

@natalietran That’s the beauty of the jury system. Individually they may be flawed but as a collective group of 12 it’s the best system we have.

[Dominic Nguyen @Dominic_Nguyen]

@KerriSackville I do a lot of jury trials but before I did I was suspicious of trial by jury. My view now is that it’s the best system we have and the jury as a collective group gets it right 99.9% of the time.

“The only source of the court’s legitimacy is the confidence that it commands amongst the public. And the public needs to see a court that looks like it," says the former High Court judge. #auslaw #auspol
