Submitted by Ramona on July 1, 2013

Writer, academic and activist Nina Power discusses politics and history. This week on The Hour of Power, Nina discusses the justice system and the courts in a radio-essay that examines the theatre of the courtroom and the role of the cross-examination, with reference to what philosophers and others have said about the process. There will also be quotes and courtroom related tracks/samples and excerpts from artist Lawrence Abu Hamdan's work on audio and law, The Aural Contract. Juliet Jacques - The Guardian, New Statesman - also joins Nina to discuss confession.
