“Law and justice are from time to time inevitably in conflict ... . The jury ... adjusts the general rule of law to the justice to the particular case. Thus the odium of inflexible rules of law is avoided, and popular satisfaction is preserved ... That is what jury trial does. It supplies that flexibility of legal rules which is essential to justice and popular contentment.” DoeLawJusticeCasesParticularConflictEssentialsSatisfactionTrialsContentmentFlexibilityAvoidedJuryRule Of LawSuppliesLaw And Justice Author:John Henry Wigmore
“... The popular attitude toward the administration of justice should be one of respect and confidence. Bureaucratic, purely official justice, can never receive such confidence. The one way to secure it is to give the citizen-body itself a share in the administration of justice. And that is what jury-trial does.” WayGivingShouldDoeBodyJusticeAttitudeShareCitizensTrialsSecureOne WayAdministrationOfficialsJuryTrial By JuryAdministration Of Justice Author:John Henry Wigmore
