Abstract
This article explores how a selection of films produced in Germany during the period of the Weimar Republic represent and critique the criminal justice system. Its starting premise is that the cinema of the era emerges as an important site for the negotiation of the contemporary crisis of law and justice outside the parameters of official legal procedure and politics. Focusing on a set of key legal and ethical dilemmas surrounding particular paragraphs of the German Criminal Code (§ 218 on abortion, § 175 on homosexuality, § 51 on criminal responsibility attribution), the aim is to exemplify how certain representative films contain and disseminate a popular jurisprudence that both reflects and contributes to contemporary legal-political debate.

Abstract
The present article undertakes an interdisciplinary inquiry into contemporary British verbatim theatre as a site of interplay between law, art and politics. Focusing on the example of Matt Woodhead and Richard Norton-Taylor's 2016 play Chilcot, documenting the public inquiry into the UK's role in the 2003 Iraq war, the authors explore the work as a space of legal and political critique, and ask how the specific theatrical and narrative affordances of the verbatim form shape its critical substance.

Three experiments were conducted to determine which of five response bias indices (β, c, B", B'H and B"D) defined by the theory of signal detection provides the most effective measure of the observer's willingness to respond in a vigilance task. The results indicated that the traditional parametric bias index β was an inadequate measure of response bias in every respect, whereas the newer parametric measure c was the most effective of all five indices. When the three nonparametric measures (B", B'H' and B"D) were examined separately, B"D emerged as the most effective nonparametric index. We recommend that vigilance researchers use c rather than β to measure bias when a parametric model is involved and B"D instead of B" and B' H when a nonparametric model is used.
