It's a lot more intricate in trials than in
chess. In chess, you take turns in an
obvious and simple way. Nobody interrupts
the other player when it's his turn to
play. I don't know if you picked up on
it, but there have been a couple of times
when one side or the other asked if such
and such was allowed in, a video or whatever,
whose time would it count against? It
is elaborate.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Please, a judge's gavel is not a carpenter's hammer.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

"Or maybe yes, a special clock, but which should be a requisite in every
courtroom, like the hammer."
Brilliant! I shall place two clocks with an interlock between them, similar to
a chess clock, INSIDE the gavel, and the strike faces will contain the buttons
that toggle the clocks. Striking the gavel on the already depressed button
won't toggle the time, so it can still be used in its normal capacity.
Hmm, there may need to be a pause function -- So, there will be a button on the
handle, alright? "Stop Hammer Time".
