Trials are living historical documents as well as high drama in themselves. Over time they can be remembered in less than accurate or relevant ways or simply become distorted in their details. In this class, six trials will be the subject of scrutiny for their legal acuteness and lessons for today. They involve individual rights, community morality, war crimes, race, and murder. The class examines the trial of Socrates, the Salem Witch trials, the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg, the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, The People v Ossian Sweet, and the State vs Nelson Mandela.
