Jurors Get Firsthand Look at Justice System
陪审员眼中的美国司法体系
If you're an American citizen, one of your fundamental civic duties is to serve, when called, as a juror in a civil or criminal trial. I was oddly pleased to get a notice in my mailbox summoning me for jury duty. I actually looked forward to sitting with 11 other New Yorkers, all chosen as randomly as I was, to hear evidence about a crime and to play an active role in the justice system.
I arrived early at the New York State Court building with my photo ID and a day's worth of reading material, and took a seat on a wooden bench in a vast, dimly-lit hall with perhaps 200 other potential jurors.
Assembling an impartial jury is an essential element of the criminal trial process. Before we were selected to hear a case, the prosecutor, the defense attorney and the judge all questioned each of us in the courtroom, to see if we harbored prejudices that might keep us from fairly judging the defendant. They asked us such questions as "Have your ever been a victim of a crime?" "Are you more or less likely to believe a police officer than any other citizen who testifies?" "Could we assume innocence until guilt was proved beyond a reasonable doubt?
After a full day of this, I was selected for a burglary case. With 11 fellow jurors (and two alternates) I raised my right hand and swore an oath to be fair. We were a diverse group of people, including black, white, Latino, professional, working-class, native born and new Americans, and we ranged in age from about 25 to nearly 70 years old.
After we'd taken our seats in the section of the courtroom known as the jury box, the judge instructed us not to talk about the case -- even among ourselves -- until all the evidence had been given, and not to discuss the trial with anyone outside, either. We each had to make up our own mind.
The defendant, a 35-year-old man with a long ponytail, sitting before us in a suit and tie, had been charged with the burglary of a drugstore.
We listened to evidence in his case for two days. The defendant himself didn't testify -- it was up to the State prosecutor to provide the proof.
Witnesses were examined by the prosecution, then cross-examined by the defense. We were shown the store's security videotapes and the written warning the store says it gave the defendant -- after an earlier shoplifting incident -- that he was barred from shopping at any of the company's chain of drug stores. That letter meant the man's second attempted theft involved a more serious criminal trespass.
As the trial drew to a close, the prosecutor and the defense attorney gave us their closing arguments. Then the judge explained the law to us and how it applied to this case, and sent us to the jury room to deliberate. In order to find the defendant guilty or not guilty, we would all have to agree on a verdict.
My fellow jurors and I had become friendly during the first couple of days of the trial, but as we deliberated we sometimes differed sharply over details of the case. We asked that portions of the testimony -- which had been carefully transcribed by a court reporter -- be read back to us. After four hours of intense argument and discussion, we all agreed to find the defendant guilty of burglary.
I was impressed by how seriously the jurors took their jobs. Even though we were all anxious to finish with the trial and get back to our lives, we all seemed to have the same sense of duty to be certain - beyond a reasonable doubt - that our verdict was justified by the evidence in the case.
I was not alone in sensing the enormity of the responsibility we had been given. I made certain to look directly at the face of the defendant when the verdict was read. I wanted to see with my own eyes whatever emotion he was feeling, and to accept responsibility for the choice I had made and what it would mean for his life. Then, just one week after it started, the trial was over, the jury was thanked, then dismissed, and we were out on the Manhattan streets saying goodbye and hailing cabs.
This is Adam Phillips in New York.

1. sales office 和 representative 只是一个叫法，而且德国也不是英语国家，所以怎么理解只能看总部怎么解释。同样的叫法，但是实际的功能和意义可能完全不一样。但一般理解为没有在当地注册的办公地点。e799bee5baa6e997aee7ad94e4b893e5b19e336而且representative更模糊和广泛，他既有可能是该公司打算在北京开拓市场而设立的，也有可能是为了其他原因，如市场调查，政府公共关系等等原因。这样一来他可以完全是皮包公司类型，但也可能是正式登记的代表处和办事处。
2. 既然总部让你们询价广州，这说明北京目前还不具备销售的功能。显然，就算价格控制权在北京，但是你还是只能联系广州，这是唯一的。购买商其实没有选择。相信德国海运过来的货，如果在中国有仓库的话，更有可能是在广州。
3.如果你担心他们的资质问题，你可以向广州office询问他们的资质，然后上网或到工商查询。也可以让他们直接提供相关的证明。这样你就知道是否可以和他们直接签合同还是应该和德国总部签。显然两者不一样，一是进口，一是国内贸易。但是如果你相信这个品牌和公司，就算他们没有正式的中国资质，你们的生意仍然是可以做成的，因为如果他们要做假，你也很难防范。至于北京，同样的道理。我想你们关心的是价格和安全问题，所以如果北京能和广州一样提供资质证明。那么合同哪里签都一样。只是合同的内容该仔细还得仔细，付款，交货条件和方式，处理问题得办法等等。
当然，还可以考虑分批进货，先熟悉他们的方式和流程，以及信用。
