Lay judge from various perspectives ------ old woman who experienced

Hi. Last year, I was chosen to lay judge. I was so surprised at this fact and didn't want to go court, however, if I don't go to there, I must pay fine so I went to court.Finally I was chosen to it legally.

After I acted lay judge, the most surprising was an amount of document about the incident and lay judge system. To understand lay judge well, we should read it all of it. But  I couldn't read it because I was not good at eyesight. And I have consciousness of sin.
I have dreamed of defendant in spite of a year pasted.
I don't want my family to be chosen as lay judge.
So I disagree with lay judge system.

The classmate said that the courts should consider the burden of lay judge responsibilities for elderly people. But even young people who are emotionally weak trouble.
other says tnat having stressful experiences through being a alay judge is really a abad thing.

It must be difficult for the elderly to have such a heavy burden, but, on the other hand, the elderly tend to have a lot of knowledge, wisdom, and experience, so it would be a shame to eliminate them from the process.

Perhaps, they can be allowed to go home early or take a nap in a specially prepared room at the court if they get too tired. Their expertise is necessary.

Hi, Lisa. I read your article about the old woman who had been chosen as a member of lay judge. I may be chosen lay judge as the old woman because I'm over 20、and have the right to be a member of it. I was surprised that people who was chosen lay judge have to read a lot of documents about it to deeply understand what's lay judge is like. I can read it well because my eyesight is good, but I am a university student and have a lot to do for assignments. I think Japanese government should review this policy for people in this country.
