Editorial Reviews
Review
“Though the primary audience for this book may be legal educators and practicing attorneys, anyone with an interest in courtroom trials will be fascinated by Strier's analysis of the game of law and suggestions for reforming the trial system to provide justice in a greater number of cases. The book is well written and clearly and logically presented. Highly recommended for all levels.”–
“This scholarly, well-crafted presentation has a place in public, special, and law school libraries.”–
Book Description
The United States is so ensconced in the adversary system of trial justice that it has escaped serious public scrutiny. Yet it is replete with substantive deficiencies and injustices. As few others have, this book discusses and illustrates the major problems endemic to the adversary system in a scholarly but provocative fashion. Particular attention is given to the limitations of juries and the corrupting role trial attorneys often have on factfinding and jury decision-making. The book's most salient contribution is a comprehensive and detailed scheme of proposed reforms. Many are adopted from foreign trial systems and domestic alternative dispute resolution mechanisms; others are based on a long overdue revamping of the jury system.
