"Reconstructing Reality in the Courtroom" explains what makes stories believable and how ordinary people connect complex legal arguments and evidence presented in trials to assess guilt and innocence.

It is in effect a fourth branch of government "governed" and "administered" directly by and on behalf of the American people, and its authority emanates from the "Bill of Rights" and has the power to enforce law and remove people from PUBLIC office.

The Jury in America: Triumph and Decline
ISBN: 9780700622009 / Angielski / Twarda / 478 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. The jury trial is one of the formative elements of American government, vitally important even when Americans were still colonial subjects of Great Britain. When the founding generation enshrined the jury in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, they were not inventing something new, but protecting something old: one of the traditional and essential rights of all free men. Judgment by an "impartial jury" would henceforth put citizen panels at the very heart of the American legal order. And yet at the dawn of the 21st century, juries resolve just two percent of the nation's legal cases and...
