The Attaint, John M. Zane
The Attaint, John M. Zane
Michigan Law Review
The practice of attainting a jury was the method by which for centuries the English law corrected an erroneous finding of fact by the body of men who, in course of time, came to be called a jury. Today this necessary corrective of judicial administration is very inadequately performed by the judge or judges presiding over the trial. The proceeding is now called a motion for a new trial. The new trial is inadequate for the reason that it does not, as did the attaint, substitute a correct verdict for the one given. It merely reverses or sets aside the …
French Jury System, Simeon E. Baldwin
French Jury System, Simeon E. Baldwin
Michigan Law Review
France has never adopted the principle of jury trials in civil cases. For criminal trials, it was introduced during the Revolution in 1790, and by a law of the next year any qualified elector: could be chosen as a juror.

If (as is permitted) when the offense for which the prosecution is brought has caused pecuniary injury to some private individual, he joins himself to the cause, as a party (partie civile), and claims judgment in his favor for the damages which …
