Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the proceedings of a conference of legal scholars devoted to examining the history and status of the American jury system. The conference was held in 2009 to honor the 200th anniversary of the 1809 publication of James Bradley Thayer's A Preliminary Treatise on Evidence at the Common Law. Thayer's treatise is seen as the foundation of the modern law of evidence. The book organizes its essays into three parts; the first places the jury in historical context, analyzing its origins from ancient times through its evolution to its central place in Anglo-American law. The second part evaluates the challenges to the jury system that became increasingly prominent in the 19th century and well into the 20th century, as critics pointed to the influence of class and race prejudice on the jury process. The third part of the book explores contemporary issues facing the jury system, encompassing its frequent portrayal as too expensive, too unpredictable, and unduly influenced by the media. The essays in this book expand the reader's understanding of how the jury system evolved, the obstacles it has faced, and its enduring significance in American law.
