Paper Abstract
7 pages in length. Stephen J. Adler's The Jury: Disorder in the Courts illustrates quite clearly how the American judicial system has ruptured an integral component of its allegedly fair and impartial sequence: the jury. At issue is the means by which Adler contends jurors are selected and dismissed, as well as how uneducated far too many of them are as to a given case's critical factors. In essence, Adler wrote this book in order to draw attention to how the phrase 'jury of one's peers' is often the exact opposite and how the entire process – from calling people to jury duty to finding out why jurors voted a particular way at trial's end – has trickled down to reflect a substandard representation of society as a whole. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
