Recenzii
"If there is one book that every judge, politician, or pundit who has railed against the 'lawsuit crisis' needs to read, it is this one." --Trial
"May be the most important addition to the literature on the American jury system since the works of Kalvan and Zeisel, The American Jury, published in the early 1960s." --Vermont Bar
"The authors have produced a good portion of the only reliable data on the worksings of the state judicial systems with respect to these areas of perceived crisis. And already their findings challenge much of the conventional wisdom and point the way toward the development of new perspectives and approaches. . . . There is clearly an eager audience for this book within the academic community, not to mention the legal profession and the persons concerned with making policy about the courts."
