“Jurors have found, again and again, and at critical moments, according to what is their sense of the rational and just. If their sense of justice has gone one way, and the case another, they have found "against the evidence," ... the English common law rests upon a bargain between the Law and the people: The jury box is where the people come into the court: The judge watches them and the people watch back. A jury is the place where the bargain is struck. The jury attends in judgment, not only upon the accused, but also upon the justice and the humanity of the Law.” PeopleIfsWayMomentsLawHumanityFoundJusticeCommonWatchesCasesGoneJudgingJudgmentEvidenceCourtBoxesCriticalRationalOne WayAgain And AgainAccusedJuryBargainsCommon LawJurorsCritical Moments Author:E.

“... The popular attitude toward the administration of justice should be one of respect and confidence. Bureaucratic, purely official justice, can never receive such confidence.
