What’s The Author's Purpose? A jury of a dozen men all come together to come to a conclusion of guilty or not guilty, but someone is always not on the same page as the others what do you do? Twelve Angry Men by Reginald Rose is an example of what happens in a jury. I think Rose’s purpose of writing this is to entertain us, the readers and I also believe he was once in the jury himself and he wanted to show his experience. In Rose 1 they voted eleven to one NO.8 voted not guilty and the others…

I am juror number three from the murder trial. I am writing to you so you can hear our reason on why we decided not guilty. I think the boy was not guilty. I think the boy was not guilty because there was no official evidence. The witness statements were not accurate.

For example we had a witness who stated that he heard the killing take place. “The old man heard the boy scream, I’m…

These roles each have a different motive that help to either lead or derail the group from their common goal. In the classic movie…

The administrative workings of the Scottish legal systems are far removed from that from the rest of the UK. This includes the structures of the courts, court procedures and the funding of legal aid. (Scottish Parliament Information Centre, 2014). In Scotland, there are 3 main types of civil courts, namely, the Sheriff Courts, Court of…
