Twelve Angry Men(Part Two) By Reginald Rose Being a judge is usually a prestigious position in society, and as a result a variety of solemn traditions have become associated with the occupation. In most nations of the world judges wear long robes, usually black or red, and sit on an elevated platform during trials. The standard judges uniform originated with the Roman toga.In some countries, notably Britain, judges also wear long wigs and use special gavels to instill order in the courtroom.In the People’s Republic of China, judges wore regular street clothes until 1984, when they began to wear military style uniforms, which were intended to demonstrate authority. These uniforms were replaced in 2000 by black robes similar to those in the rest of the world. In most English speaking countries (particularly the USA) a judge is addressed as Your Honor when presiding over the judges court, as a sign of respect for the office. The judges of the Supreme Court of the United States, and the judges of the supreme courts of several U. S. states and other countries are called “justices”. In the United Kingdom, a comparable rank is held by the House of Lords; its judges are not called judges, but Law Lords, and sit in the House of Lords as peers. No. 11: Ah, this then would depend on your definition of panic. He would have to be calm enough to see to it that there were no fingerprints left on the knife. Now, where did the panic start and where did it end? In Para. 15 Question: Figure out No. 11’s logic of reasoning. No. 4 thought that the boy could run out in a panic after having killed his father, after he calmed down, he realized that he left his knife at the scene. But No. 11 didn’t think it held water because if the boy had run out in a panic, he couldn’t be so calm to be sure that there were no fingerprints left on the knife. So No. 11 asked where the panic started and where it ended. Lesson 6 – Twelve Angry Men (Part Two) II. Text Analysis No. 8
