judge - review manager jury - reviewers.
There's a problem with the analogy because we do expect the Review Manager to ensure the case is ready for court and the defense is fully prepared, so to speak.
where's the problem? In the legal world the judge makes sure that the parties have time to prepare, will grant them more time if he believe its justified, rule on what evidence will be admitted etc, etc. I decides, but generally doesn't participate in the argument. It's an explicit attempt to separate the roles of advocate from those of judge.
As I noted, the judge doesn't examine the defense attorney's case to see if everything is in order before allowing the case to go to trial. ___ Rob (Sent from my portable computation engine)
