Jury Law Books


1.		Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury: Greatest Closing Arguments in Modern Law from Scribner Customer Review: This book, the first in a series of three by the authors, looks at significant trials in American history. What I found interesting as a teacher of trial advocacy is the ability to read closing arguments from a wide variety of lawyers that took place in the context of interesting trials. Is the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		We, the Jury: Deciding the Scott Peterson Case from Phoenix Books Price: $15.81 Customer Review: The Scott Peterson case was interesting to me, so I bought this book. The jurors discuss their dynamics, the inside scoops on why jury replacements happened, and the trauma of the decision making process. I don't consider it the best book on Scott Peterson as he's more in the background. But its a... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		American Juries: The Verdict from Prometheus Books Price: $24.08 Customer Review: While the right to a trail by jury of peers is a basic American freedom, in reality civil juries have been found to be biased, irresponsible and incompetent. This volume reviews some fifty years of civil and criminal juries and considers arguments pro and con about the civil jury system. The verdict... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		A Trial by Jury from Vintage Price: $11.05 Customer Review: D. Graham Burnett's "Trial By Jury" is not a "true crime" novel. In fact, it is to "true crime" what Jane Austen is to Harlequin romances. I am not writing this to sound smarmy, but just to let the reader know that while this is a story of a trial and the tensions arising therefrom, the reader... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Legal Blame: How Jurors Think and Talk About Accidents (Law and Public Policy - Psychology and the Social Sciences Series) from American Psychological Association (APA) Price: $23.07 Customer Review: I think it unfortunate that a relative and a former student provide two glowing, 5 star reviews of this work. Buyer beware.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Stack And Sway: The New Science Of Jury Consulting from Basic Books Price: $16.95 Customer Review: This book, although copywrited in 2002, is already outdated. Regrettably, it also spends an inordinate number of pages touting commercial jury consulting firms, rather than providing theory, application or even advice on jury selection.	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		The Hidden Jury: And Other Secret Tactics Lawyers Use to Win from Sourcebooks, Inc. Price: $11.53 Customer Review: This book didn't give much new insight. I thought it might have a lot of information about what typical jurors think and which tactics work best. It was mostly a book about telling you you need to use jury consultants.

8.		Laws of Men and Laws of Nature: The History of Scientific Expert Testimony in England and America from Harvard University Press Price: $22.95 Customer Review: We have all seen the dismaying spectacle of partisan scientific experts testifying in court in support of whichever side hires them. Pundits and politicians decry what they call "junk science" in the courts, suggesting sweeping judicial reforms. It's natural to assume that this is a new phenomenon.... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Scientific Jury Selection (Law and Public Policy: Psychology and the Social Sciences) from American Psychological Association (APA) Price: $57.27 Customer Review: Most people do not realize that jury consultation was an outgrowth of the 1970s antiwar movement, created to assist in the defense of political activists such as the Harrisburg Seven and the Indians at Wounded Knee. The field has expanded far beyond its progressive roots, to the point that it may be... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Mastering Voir Dire and Jury Selection, Second Edition: Gain an Edge in Questioning and Selecting Your Jury from American Bar Association Price: $62.97	Click here for more information


11.		The Palladium of Justice: Origins of Trial by Jury from Ivan R. Dee, Publisher Price: $15.90 Customer Review: Levy's defense of juries and the Anglo-American accusatorial system is a worthwile evening's read that condenses 600 years of legal history into a scarce hundred pages of simple prose--a truly remarkable feat. As an alternative to trial by ordeal, conjurgation, and battle, juries were an... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		A Life and Death Decision: A Jury Weighs the Death Penalty from Palgrave Macmillan Price: $12.21 Customer Review: Scott Sundby's book is a must read for anyone interested in the death penalty in the United States. It takes years of research by the Capital Jury Project and encapsulates it into two case studies. The cold statistics come to life as Sundby relates how different factors influence the life and death... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Not Guilty Every Time from Millennium Vision Press Price: $15.16 Customer Review: Charles Hagan shares with readers his years of experience and expertise as an effective litigator. This book provides useful information and tips for young practicing attorneys and should be viewed as an essential component of every lawyer's library. It clearly illustrates proven, time-tested... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		Judge the Jury: Experience the Power of Reading People from Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company Price: $24.24 Customer Review: Not very well written. Information flow is not good. This is not a book I would use if I needed a text book for a class. If I really wanted to read a person using body language, or if I really wanted to analyze a handwriting sample, I'd definitely need a better, more fluid, more comprehensive... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		The Chicago Conspiracy Trial from Da Capo Customer Review: Great historical trial. You will find that the same is going on now 40 years later with the current administration.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Commonsense Justice: Jurors' Notions of the Law from Harvard University Press Price: $33.00 Customer Review: Until recently, jury nullification, and the role of jury discretion, were relatively obscure topics. Although there were literally hundreds of law review articles and other academic writings on the topic, almost none of them were available outside of the larger law libraries. The newspapers... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		We, the Jury: The Jury System and the Ideal of Democracy from Harvard University Press Price: $22.05 Customer Review: There is a canard that to not know history it to be doomed to repeat it. Usually I have found that most people who read history do so in a manner that distorts it to fit their own views on contemporary issues (Newt Gingrich is a good example of this). This is not necessarily a bad thing but the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		You're the Jury: Solve Twelve Real-Life Court Cases Along With the Juries Who Decided Them from Holt Paperbacks Customer Review: This was a very different approach for a person that is interested in CSI or forensics. You're in the juror's box. The situation is spelled out for you in descriptive, accessible terms. The jurors instructions and what each charge against the defendant encompasses are defined and explained... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Jury Process from Foundation Press Price: $22.00	Click here for more information


20.	[no image]	Jury Nullification: The Evolution of a Doctrine from Carolina Academic Press Price: $18.00 Customer Review: Just before a jury retires to deliberate in a criminal case, the judge tells the jurors that they "must follow the law--even if they do not agree with it." This book shows that such an instruction is very misleading. A ton of evidence is presented to show that juries are supposed to "check" the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
