I liked h...I enjoyed reading your post again Aaron. I liked how you unpack the significance of why there were 500 jurors instead of only 10-15 jurors. I also liked how you discussed the term "duty" now used with jury selection, and how this has developed a burden connotation. <br /><br />Finally, I think in some manner, the lawyers in Greek antiqutiy and today are almost similar in judging whether a juror is fit to make decisions based on the case. I am not sure about how the process worked in the Greek society, but today we have a major vetting process to determine whether jurors are fit to do duty on particular cases, and lawyers at times take this process to begin already swaying the juror in their direction. I wonder if the contemporary scholar you named spoke on this issue. I know it is hard to go into details in 500 words or less. But again, nice job.andrewg4ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08113626747841431925noreply@blogger.com
