Waterside Press (Verlag)
978-1-904380-11-5 (ISBN)
Linking past and present, John Hostettler conveys the unique nature of the jury, and its central role in the administration of justice — but above all its importance as ‘a thing of the people’ and a barrier to manipulation and abuse of power. The Criminal Jury Old and New will be of interest to practitioners, collectors, students, researchers, libraries, colleges and general readers alike.
