The Jury: A Very Short Introduction, Paperback/***

This book shows how and why societies around the world have used juries, from ancient Athens to today. It considers the present decline of jury trials in English speaking countries, the alternatives that have been used throughout history, and analyses how innovations from these non-English-speaking countries may hold the key to jurors' survival.
