Why is it significant that Judge Taylor assigned Tom Robinson's case to Atticus? What do we learn about the judge from this? ​

Respuesta :

During a conversation with Miss Maudie, Scout and Jem found out thatJudge Taylor had appointed Atticusspecifically to defend Tom Robinson. ... Atticus Finch won't win, he can't win, but he's the only man in these parts who can keep a jury out so long in acase like that.
