This is on a far more sophisticated level than ``The People`s court``. Significantly more at stake. Judges have to make sure their decision is correct, that takes research.
Seriously, A judges ruling reflects his/her expertise, researched opinion on the matter, but most important, their reputation - their ruling is subject to judgement of all reading it and must be clear, durable and airtight.
How much time would you spend before ruling on something of this magnitude?
Also consider Judges get to have weekends off too....
