Legal System
Our legal system was founded on principles from a long time ago, but the nation's forefathers were able to build a system that could grow through time. As new facets of life emerge, the legal system must wrap itself around any related issues. This collection of essays debates several issues relating to our legal system. Presented in a pro versus con format, readers navigate through each essay and counter essay to evaluate what they're learning. Four chapters debate whether the legal system is in jeopardy, whether the jury system works, whether the criminal justice system is fair, and what role the media should play in the system.
