Arbcom is beginning to look like that island in Lord of the Flies. KnightLago is a third-year law student (maybe age 23), Mailer_diablo is about 21, Fritzpoll is a grad student, Hersfold is an undergrad.

If they surprise us and do well, the best we can hope for will still resemble a high-school student council meeting.

I would probably be more disturbed if I didn't realize that, for example, some of KnightLago's classmates will be basically writing law on federal courts of appeal next year. These drafters, unlike Wikiarbitrators, won't even sign pseudonyms to the opinions they write.

I wanna hear how Brandt stopped the draft again.
