I’d be shocked if the first one didn’t exist already. I’d read Jim Crow to Diebold probably. The law one would probably bore and annoy me to death.
The idea behind “the law one” isn’t so much the law aspect of Trials of the Century, more an examination of what makes a trial considered important, and why people would even pretend to consider the murder trial of a football player turned Leslie Nielsen costar the “Trial of the Century” in a century that also featured the Nuremberg Trials.
I know it’s kind of a moot point but how can there be more than one “Trial of the Century” per century?
I’d read the last one.
