It's an enormous job.

Yeah.

I mean, Michigan adjudicates between three and four million cases a year.

And like every other state court, a majority of people who go to court to have cases resolved can't afford lawyers.

This is the primary place people interact with their government.

So the kind of justice we deliver, the quality of justice we deliver is...

It's pretty important to, frankly, like the rule of law and, you know, trust in institutions.

And so I think it's, you know, one of the most important jobs in government.

So it absolutely should be, at least in a majority of cases.

In fact, if it were more deterministic, we would have fewer disputes.

Right.

It's because it's probabilistic.

And I agree with you.

It for the most part is because it's run by humans.

Right.

who are, you've met humans, right?

They're flawed.

It therefore isn't always predictable.

If it were more predictable, we would be a more efficient and effective system.

We'd avoid a lot of disputes because people could plan their business around what in fact the rule was going to be and how it was going to be enforced and how they could count on it being enforced.
