UXL brings the drama of history's most notable -- and notorious -- trials to the classroom with Courtroom Drama. This one-stop source provides details on the key events, people and outcomes of 120 of the world's most compelling trials, including:
- United States v. Susan B. Anthony (on trial for women's rights)
- Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (Indian nations attempt to sue U.S. citizens)
- Thomas More (on trial for treason)
- John Thomas Scopes (on trial for teaching evolution in the classroom)
- And dozens more
Each trial is profiled in a two- to five-page entry that begins with the vital statistics listed at-a-glance. An in-depth essay follows, describing the events leading up to the trial, key moments of the trial and the aftermath of the decision. Approximately 175 black-and-white illustrations depict key people and places. Also included are a glossary, sidebars, and a subject index.
