...school students and any adult who may ever be on a jury. The book explains that juries were meant to be a limit on the power of the state, as represented by judges in courts, over the individual. The book also shows how the system has gradually, in the name of "justice" eroded the juries power and made it little more than a rubber stamp for whatt he judge, and the state he serves, want.

This book tells people it's time to take back some power from the judges, who have become nearly omnipotent dictators who can imprison american citizens on a whim, without trial, for years if they want to with no accountability to innocent people they wrong.

The book is one step in the right direction: Less power for the state in the form of the judges and more to the people in the form of the juries.

Hammerstein has brains and courage to write a book that attackes the judges and does what most media won't: Name bad judges who have become black-robed tyrants.

As both a practicing lawyer(15+years) a practicing Doc. for 26 + years and a libertarian since 1980, I immediately ordered this book when I heard about it through some fully informed jury assoc. materials I had received.

I was not impressed with it! It is not a work of scholarship, not well documented and mainly a list of the authors opinions. I did not learn anything about the jury system that I did not already know, even the Greek Mythology part. I plan to run for judge in 04 and would have liked to be able to recommend this book to potential voters, but I am not going to be able to after reading it!

I rated it as high as I did because the author made some important points. Also, I hate having people giving low reviews to my book!
