The Famous Trials series covers the most important trials throughout history. From the trial of Socrates in ancient Greece to more recent trials like the trial of O.J. Simpson, each book deals with the most pivotal and memorable aspects of each case. Every book also addresses the issue of why the particular trial remains memorable: Did laws change as a result of the trial? Did the trial have long-lasting social or economic consequences? In addition, lively and relevant sidebars discuss pertinent and interesting information related to the trial.
