This important study fills these obvious gaps in the literature. It also provides a re-assessment of standard issues such as jury lenity or equity, while raising questions about orthodoxies concerning the relationship of the jury to the development of laws of evidence. Moreover, re-assessment of the jury in nineteenth-century England rejects the thesis that juries were squeezed out by judges in favour of market principles. The book contributes a rounded picture of the jury as an institution, considering it in comparison to other modes of fact-finding, its development in both civil and criminal cases, and the significance, both practical and ideological, of its transplantation to North America and Scotland, while opening up new areas of investigation and research. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContributors: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJohn W Cairns\u003cbr\u003eRichard D Friedman\u003cbr\u003eJoshua Getzler\u003cbr\u003eRoger D Groot\u003cbr\u003ePhilip Handler\u003cbr\u003eDaffydd Jenkins\u003cbr\u003eMichael Lobban\u003cbr\u003eGrant McLeod\u003cbr\u003eMaureen Mulholland\u003cbr\u003eJames C Oldham\u003cbr\u003eJ R Pole\u003cbr\u003eDavid J Seipp","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45086972641431,"sku":"9781841133256","price":17750.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781841133256.webp?v=1767266384","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-dearest-birth-right-of-the-people-of-england-the-jury-in-the-history-of-the-common-law-9781841133256","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
