That is, commoners weren't worth fooling with, but Nobles were to be tried by
other Nobles.....
And as to peers, yes, especially in a patent case, a working definition is
needed....something like an ABET-accredited 4-year bachelors, or inventor (not
owner) of a patent, or able to answer some knowledge questions in the field....
But you'd have to pay jurors quite a bit more, and make employers let those
jurors go....they have a tendency to be very *valuable* employees....

The U.S Constitution spoke of trial by jury but said nothing about
"peers". (This was several months ago and I was surprised to learn
this after the many times I have heard reference to "a jury of your
peers".)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
