Mishnah - Instruction
Scholars 'R' Us: The law gives the right of a man to a jury if he argues over a value worth more than twenty dollars. If someone is argueing with someone else for more than twenty dollars, that person is entitled to a jury in a court of law. If the money value questioned is less than twenty dollars, that person (s) is not entitled to a jury to hear the trial. this law gives justice to those who claim that their money has been taken or used improperly. For example, if someone lent you 20 dollars worth of cookies, and you ate them, he could not have a jury in court when trying to get his cookies back. Scholar Eclair: When the value of a trial is more than $20, you or the victim offense, has the right to trial with a jury unconditionally. Any evidence submitted by the trial, can not be rexamined in another sperate court trial. According to the Constitution of America. This law serves to help keep the more important court cases in court and to keep insignificant court cases from wasting court officials time. If Jack took Jills Lollypop, and Jill went to Jack's mom so she could get a new lolly pop, she could not go to Jack's Dad to get another new lollypop. |

Gemara - Completion
Scholar Peckuelamos: Any Trial over 20 dollars will have the choice to be held in a court of law. Any argument with a price over $20 can go to a judge to settle the differences. If a Baseball bat was stolen worth $149.00 If I though I knew who it was I could take them to court in front of a judge and he could decide who was right. Scholar Ice Cream: The meaning of this law is that if more than $20.00 is at stake then they have a right to trail by jury. The facts in the trail cannot be readmitted in the United State Scourt System unlessit follows the rules of common law. The Mishnah is saying that the court systems today are trying to keep unimportant cases out of court to get important cases over with. Today people could take advantage of this law by stealing something under the value of $20 and not having to go to court for it. |
