Is there a good book for laypeople about how and why court procedure was developed?

I was a juror many moons ago, and I was relating some of the things I noticed with the trial that were different from what I had seen on tv, and it got me curious about why certain procedures were what they were.

One example was how evidence wasn’t presented to us by default. I’d imagine there’s a known biasing element to some evidence, but I’m wondering how that got to be the case.
