Beskrivning
Offering an alternative view of the jury process, this book argues that each stage transforms ordinary citizens, who are oftentimes reluctant to serve on juries, into responsible jurors. Jurors, Professor Marder argues, are not found, but rather they are made and shaped by the jury process. This book analyzes each stage of this process, from initial summons to post-verdict interview, and shows how these stages equip jurors with experiences and knowledge that allow them to perform their new role ably. It adopts a holistic approach to the subject of jury reform and suggests reforms that will aid the transformation of citizens into jurors. By studying the jury from the perspective of jurors, it gives readers a better understanding of what takes place during jury trials and allows them to see juries, jurors, and the jury process in a new light.

Recensioner i media

'Marder's book is a timely and original account of one of our most important institutions. It begins with a broad reimagining of the transformation of ordinary citizens into responsible jurors. It then moves deftly to a host of reforms that would serve concretely to embody this compelling vision. It is the distillation of decades of serious thought.' Robert P. Burns, Professor, Northwestern University School of Law
