Description

This book is so bad I don't know where to begin. FIrst, it fails to be an adequate description of, or encomium for, jury trials. (For that, see Jeffrey Abramson's book, WE THE JURY.) Second, it fails to apply real jurisprudence (like Lon Fuller or HLA Hart) to this "new" area of thought, and it fails pathetically to mix in critical theory. (Why is Hannah Arendt thrown into nearly every paragraph?) I regret that I didn't click on the "look inside" feature of this website. Two pages of nonsense would have been enough. Save your money, save your time, by ignoring this brain-dead drivel.
