Mitchel Lecture Series: Democracy, Juries and the Rule of Law

Featuring Sara Forsdyke, Josiah Ober Collegiate Professor of Ancient History at the University of Michigan

Presented by the Department of History, sponsored by the Kinder Institute on Constitutional Democracy

Ancient juries had full power to decide both questions of fact (guilt or innocence) and law. This seminar will explore the question of whether a justice system that relied entirely on ordinary citizens could achieve the consistency that is required for the rule of law.
