'This book does not just describe the - sometimes unexpected - differences between jury systems in the world, but also eloquently explains the consequences. This is a must for any student of legal decision making and the jury.' - P. J. von Koppen, Professor of Law and Psychology, Department of Law, Maastricht University and Free University Amsterdam, the Netherlands'This book is an important addition to the growing literature on lay participation in trials throughout the world. Each contribution is from an expert in the area. The book is readable for nonpsychologists, and will be of interest to anyone interested in the jury and jury reform.' - Sally Lloyd-Bostock, Professor of Law and Psychology, School of Law, University of Birmingham, UK
