The Jury is a great inside look at how juries decide cases.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Stephen Adler has provided a great inside look at how juries really decide cases. I am a state court trial judge and have an opportunity most people don't get -- talking to jurors after they have decided a case to learn how they came to their decision. Adler has reconstructed the deliberation process in several, varied cases. The descriptions are compelling and surprising, but they certainly lead any reader to a much better understanding of the jury system. Adler also provides a good overview of the possible reform measures that might help -- and a good set of citations for further reference. I submitted these comments because another person had provided a highly critical review of the book. I cannot account for his strong reaction against every facet of the book, from writing style to content. I can say that I highly recommend this book to anyone who cares about our justice system.Steve Leben, District Judge Olathe, Kansas
