Lawyers make the laws and choose the juries. Pretty convenient, huh?
No and partially no.
You know quite well that a legislature passes a law that is signed by a Governor. So cut the crap. If your meaning is that legislators are lawyers too, then you just want a boogeyman.
Judges do not make law, they recognize what the law is, if they are applying common law. Then at the ned of a trial, they tell the jury what the law is that the JURY must apply. The JURY decides the case, not the Judge.
The Judge has the most influence in selecting the jury that is actually seated through sua sponte challenges for cause, where a Juror admits to a bias, or expresses that service will be an "economic hardship." So what you get are juries that skew toward government workers, retirees and larger corporations. So what kind of bias do you think they have? Peremptoory challenges are for them, if you want to keep the pro big recovery crowd out of your jury.
Tax paying, insurance buying, home owning, small business owners are underrepresented, because they all head for the "economic hardship hills."
