Product Description
The lawyer-dominated adversary system of criminal trial, which now typifies practice in Anglo-American legal systems, developed in England in the eighteenth century. Using hitherto unexplored sources from London's Old Bailey Court, Professor Langbein shows how and why lawyers were able to capture the trial, and he supplies a path-breaking account of the formation of the law of criminal evidence.

Classic Treatment of the Subject March 14, 2007

Langbein's work is revolutionary in its use of the Old Bailey Sessions papers as a tool for scholarly research. For all who are interested in criminal trials in the Britain in the 18th Century, this work is absolutely fundamental.
A Terrific Resource June 1, 2003

This a really terrific explanation of the history of our modern adversarial system and would be particularly useful to trial lawyers who work within the adversarial criminal system. (It's one thing to know that one CAN object to hearsay...but haven't you ever wondered why we do?)
