Michigan Creates Cybercourt

Posted by michael on from the justice-unplugged dept.

Boone^ writes: "Michigan's Governor John Engler today signed a bill that would create a virtual state court where lawyers could file briefs and make appearances by teleconference. The state Supreme Court will set the rules in the coming months, and District or circuit court judges will be assigned for 3-year terms. How soon until sufficient AI exists to automate the process, and mobile justice can be handed out Judge Dredd style?" We did a story about this when it was first proposed.

    Sometime between the first and second impacts, when the Magi are programmed by Ritsuko's mother. Then we'll have the three forces of Mother, Woman, and Scientist to rule our entire nation. (If you haven't watched enough Neon Genesis: Evangelion [animefu.com]) :)
