A רב who traveled to a distant town saw that the local Rabbi was judging by himself cases which require three דיינים. When asked about this, the Rabbi responded: “We are three. There is the גמרא, the חושן משפט and me.” The רב replied: “Yes. Yes. But חז״ל prohibited a person from sitting in דין with those whom he does not know.”
