Plea Bargaining and Public Attorneys

Dr. Borris Swenekaf

After thorough analysis, researchers concluded that in many cases public attorneys actually produce better results on trial outcomes than private attorneys. This is likely attributed to the fact that public attorneys often receive better briefings of cases to ensure proper performance, since with their heavy workload information given to them must be condensed to an essential level that outlines the most important details of the case. The details often focus on the main aspects of the accusation, researches noted, so that the public attorneys could look into that information thoroughly without having to worry about an overflow of insignificant details.
