Since the beginning of organized societies, there have been laws. And since there have been laws, humans have broken them. In order to maintain order, we developed courts and hold trials to enforce those laws. This week, we examine the beginning of laws and some of the earliest court setups. Additionally, we examine one of the biggest trials of the 20th century in America, known as the Scopes Monkey Trial, which pit two of the biggest celebrities in the country against one another in a battle of religion vs science.
