>>>Appointment of a special master is inappropriate, not because of the court's competence or lack thereof to deal with technical issues, but because the constitution (and the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure cited by the court) does not allow the judicial power of the United States to be vested in anyone other than publicly appointed judges. Appointing Lessig effectively delegated essentially judicial power to a private individual.<<<

But there have been special masters in many other cases, having to deal with the details of any specific industry has sometimes led to this kind of delegation in the past, or so I understood. Am I wrong about this. Even the antique phrasing of the title makes me think that this is a rather traditional solution.

What's up with that?
