American Juries: The Verdict

Are you interested in the jury? Want to know more? Then you must read this book. Seriously. Not optional. It covers every nook-and-cranny of the world of research on the subject, and its authors are bona fide experts in the field. This book is really an update of their earlier book, Judging the Jury, which has been cited by the Supreme Court on many occasions when commenting on the functioning of the jury. Yeah, you know you're important when your social science is being cited by the U.S. Supreme Court. Besides being a compelling argument for respecting the intelligence of juries, the authors also show the jury system's vulnerabilities, how new reforms are reshaping it, and where it comes from historically and culturally. Again, it's a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the jury system.

Came as described, required for class so not much else to add about it. Some pages were slightly damaged by water but that was in the description, I think. Reads just fine.
