Opis

What would become of the criminal trial if the jury was taken out of the picture? This is precisely what occurred in Northern Ireland in 1973, after a Commission (chaired by Lord Diplock) recommended that cases connected with the "troubles" be tried by a judge alone. The authors' study of both Diplock and jury trials in Northern Ireland yields broad lessons for all those interested in the administration of criminal justice.

Recenzje

'These empirical findings are integrated with a scholarly discussion of rules of evidence and procedure and of theories of trial...it will be a great interest for students of trial processes...As a study of the interplay between legal rules and working rules, this book is a valuable socio-legal addition to the scholarly Oxford Monographs in Criminal Law and Justice series.'
