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?

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. Covers key historical people and events throughout U.S. jurisprudence historyDocuments and tables include excerpts from relevant constitutional provisions, statutes, and judicial opinions; tables include statistics on court organization in different states and in other countries
