Judge Judge, may I present Major Major

The Register (a British tech site) is reporting that tech-addled jurors undermine justice. The judge, Lord Judge of Draycote, complains that younger jurors are used to doing their own research and so apparently can't sit still, listen to arguments in court, and make their decision based on what they hear. According to Lord Judge,
Orality is the crucial ingredient of the adversarial system
In a bootnote, the Reg reports that "Lord Judge, formerly Judge Judge, was christened Igor Judge. Whilst the
evidence of names predestining an individual for a career is a tad
shaky, in this case, the parents of the young I Judge appear to have
been spot on."
