Reviews

'Democracy in the Courts explores issues critical to confidence in criminal justice: lay participation in the courts and professionals' and lay judges' views about it. Malsch provides a penetrating and important analysis of practice in five countries, concluding that citizens should be encouraged to participate, without sacrificing quality in criminal trials.' Joanna Shapland, University of Sheffield, UK
