Juries under attack

Andy Howells

This blogpost from Matthew Scott notes that the CPS, and the judiciary itself in the form of proposals for an intermediate Court, would appear, according to the author, to have it in for juries. A fantastic piece to use with students, as it combines up-to-the minute critique of proposed reforms with a lovely polemic in favour of the jury system in all its imperfect glory. Great way to get the students to see how little details affect big themes!
