A celebration of the American trial as a great cultural achievement, this work explores how these legal proceedings bring about justice. It reminds us that the trial is not confined to the impartial application of legal rules to factual findings. It explores the narrative structure of the trial, beginning with the lawyers' opening statements.

Shows how The Trial provides an uncanny lens through which to consider flaws in the American criminal justice system today. The author begins with the story, at once funny and grim, of Josef K, caught in the Law's grip and then crushed by it.

Makes an impassioned case for reversing the rapid decline of the trial before we lose one of our public culture's greatest achievements. This title lays out the catastrophic consequences of losing an institution that so perfectly embodies democratic governance.
