Topic: Jury Duty Section: Yale Law Journal, 1964 Table of Contents to this Topic |
| "During the first third of the nineteenth century,...judges frequently charged juries that they were the judges of law as well as the fact and were not bound by the judge's instructions. A charge that the jury had the right to consider the law had a corollary at the level of trial procedure: counsel had the right to argue the law--its interpretation and its validity--to the jury.
