About This Book

The author recounts twelve days serving on an assize court jury, observing trials and courtroom routines, the composition and conduct of jurors, judges, and lawyers, and the tension between procedural certainty and moral doubt. He describes specific cases and the strain produced by imprecise charges, leading jurors to vote contrary to truth to reach what they deem justice, while also admiring the professionalism and conscientiousness of court officials. Reflections weigh the fragility of human judgment and the unsettling limits of legal procedure.
