Reviews
`admirable series of 13 essays outstanding collection of essays all the contributions are illuminating and thought-provoking What Neil Vidmar's book offers is a wide-ranging review of all the arguments bearing upon the jury both as fact finder and as democratic symbol. This splendid book reviews the history and the arguments, and it presents what evidence there is. I would say that it is absolutely essential as a work of reference for all students and academic researchers with an interest in criminal justice. It is also rare indeed to find a collection of essays that are all written to the same high standard.' Oxford University Commonwealth Law Journal, Winter 2001 `You would be surprised how widely, but even more, how differently the jury is used: which is where this valuable and engaging book comes in. We have to thank Neal Vidmar, a North American academic, for finding just the right experts to contribute a series of chapters which go to the heart of each use of the system. And his exemplary introduction so effectively launches us into the book that we are driven through the mass of detail without losing the plot .' New Law Journal, 12 Oct 2001
