A PROPOSAL IS MADE FOR A 'MORE PRINCIPLED' KIND OF PRETRIAL PROCEDURE THAN PLEA BARGAINING IN WHICH ONLY THE PROSECUTOR AND DEFENSE COUNSEL NEGOTIATE ON A MATTER OF GREAT CONCERN TO BOTH DEFENDANTS AND PLAINTIFFS.
Abstract
THE DEAN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO LAW SCHOOL SUGGESTS THAT ALL THE PARTIES IN A CASE (INCLUDING THE JUDGE, VICTIM, ACCUSED OFFENDER, AS WELL AS THE PROSECUTOR AND DEFENSE COUNSEL) SHOULD TAKE PART IN THE NEGOTIATIONS. THIS TAPE IS PART OF A SERIES OF EIGHT TAPES (NCJ-31870 THROUGH 31877) ON THE POSTURE OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM IN THE YEAR 2000, WHICH SELLS FOR $59.40. THE TAPES WERE EDITED FROM THE PROCEEDINGS OF A CONFERENCE ON 'THE POLITICS OF CHANGE IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM'.
