The author argues that a specialized world demands specialized courts and judges expert in the subjects they much consider. Following the leadership of Chief Judge Judith Kaye of New York's highest court, the Conference of Chief Justices from all fifty states has endorsed her use of "Problem-solving courts" to take the judiciary into the twenty-first century.
