Outstanding reading for those with an interest in the way a real life jury operates. A great historical review of the American Jury system and where it might be in the future. Very easy reading and would make an excellent reference and/or textbook.

Gave this book as a gift, my sister heard the author speak and had been looking for the book. She loved the book as well as the speaker.
