Finding a state judge's decision making faculties may prove difficult. May need to expand the scan to the lower 'brain'...

There should be a Gattaca-like test to replace the LSAT - only those who are genetically superior should be allowed into our esteemed profession.

It shouldn't be a surprise that emotion is involved in legal decisions. Humans are hard wired for "fairness" (it's how we managed in a hunter-gatherer society) and it makes sense that we should be using that highly emotional connection in determining an appropriate punishment

Lawyers must surely feel emotion when having to cower behind metal detectors to keep from being beheaded by the commoners they have screwed.
