process, there would be a considerable progress in the civil society. A probative example is given by the Chinese court’s practice where the Weibo, a microblog, was first time adopted as the transmedia for authority to “live blog” the hearings of a trial (Zhang, 2013). Apart from the benefit of the openness brought to the public, the justice system also gains invaluable positive influence. By granting the access to the hearing procedure, the judicial system restores the credibility of authority…

The stock broker, who seemed to be professional and reasoned, held out for guilty on the basis that the eyewitness said she could identify the accused. It was only when the other…

Prior to the mock jury activity in class, I did not know or understand much about the judicial or trial process.

I have been in a court situation before where I have needed to testify, so I understand a bit more about the trial system than someone who hasn’t experienced it. The mock trial was a very engaging and helpful activity where I was able to more fully…

Carpenter, this paper attempts to construe how the influence of unwritten law, written law and customs ultimately led a jury panel to convict a man of manslaughter even though there was arguably no concrete evidence of foul play on his…
