I've tried to think about the problem of idealized Bayesian Justice before, but usually I start by replacing the judge with a robot, and then the jury, and then the lawyers, and then Congress and the Supreme Court and the entire Executive Branch, and pretty soon I've reinvented FAI badly or I find myself trying to rewrite the US Code in Python.

I think "idealized" might be too high a standard.
