Rezensionen

'The case made by Jackson and Summers for effective rights of defence participation before as well as at trial is compelling. In emphasising the common history and shared present of the civil and common law systems rather than their differences, this work provides a fresh and illuminating perspective from the opposite side of the glass. It is an extraordinarily rich and scholarly endeavour which constructs an ambitious thesis.' Laura Hoyano, Criminal Law Review
