What the actual fuck???
In my country you have to have been a barrister for at least 5 years and in practice it’s longer.
I can’t get my head around this system of having laypersons voting randoms into a position that requires a high level of skill.
Idk, I’ve had to deal with coronial inquiries and I can’t imagine what it would be like if the Coroner was just some random person instead of, well, an actual coroner.
It seems like electing your neighbour the lawnmower guy to run your divorce court instead of letting a judge do it.
