Courts and Trials: A Reference Handbook: Contemporary World Issues

Autor Christopher Smith
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 feb 2003 – vârsta până la 17 ani
A collective overview of contemporary developments affecting court organization and judicial procedures.America has a long history of sensationalized trials and infamous lawyers and judges, but what is the truth about how our system of jurisprudence really works? Courts and Trials: A Reference Handbook makes the subject accessible by presenting an overview of the organization of courts and procedures used in criminal and civil cases, with special emphasis on contemporary developments. The book analyzes specific issues: methods of selecting judges, the capacity of citizen-jurors to make appropriate decisions, cameras in the courtroom, "three strikes" laws, and the prosecution of juveniles as adults. The discussions illuminate competing perspectives on controversies that influence new initiatives and reforms affecting courts and their operations.

Recenzii

Titles in [the Contemporary World Issues] series offer historical overviews and discussions of controversial issues. . . . Each volume includes primary documents, agencies and organizations, a glossary, an index, print & nonprint resources, a chronology, and biographies. Recommended.
[D]escribes, in an easy, comprehensible style, the courts, jurisdictions, and legal systems of the United States . . . would be valuable for those wishing an introduction and brief history of court systems in the United States. It provides a solid, although not too taxing, overview of the subject for patrons of public and community college libraries, or even advanced high school students.
One would be hard-pressed to identify another work of this length that would provide a better overview of courts and trials in the United States.
