What would happen if the lower level judges had very limited terms (1 year?) with term limits?
You would have a bunch of incompetent judges. I say create a test and test them vigorously every year. If they fail, they come off the bench.
Oh, i like this idea.
If we had enough incentive to be a judge for a year, i think that there would be a lot of competent volunteers. I try to be an optimist, but it hardly works out.
Lots of cases last much longer than a year.
Good point
