After serving on a jury, I came away thinking I’d personally prefer a judge-led trial. A judge is trained in the law, understands the process, and treats it as a professional duty.. That said, I don’t agree with Lammy’s proposal.

I think you want Steve McGarrett - but from the original Hawaii Five-O and not the more recent series where they dangle suspects over the edge of buildings or throw them into shark tanks (I kid thee not).

I’ve always favoured in-person exams. Even before AI, what was to stop someone from soliciting help from another party to improve their submission?
