Created by Professor Doug Linder of the University of Missouri-Kansas City Law School, this site tells the stories of twelve famous trials from American history with a mix of images, primary documents, and Linder's own analysis and overviews. Some of the trials featured include the "Scottsboro Boys," the Chicago Seven, the Rosenbergs, the My Lai Courts Martial, and the Scopes "Monkey" trial. Most of the trial studies include biographical sketches, chronologies, maps (where appropriate), a number of complete or excerpted original documents, quotes from trial participants, images, bibliography and links, and Linder's description and commentary.
