Cool Hand Lawyers: White Collar Crime And Tactics Of The Prosecution And Defense, M. Shawn Askinosie

Journal of Dispute Resolution

This Comment is designed to facilitate the understanding of the white collar criminal plea bargaining process "which is not as open to the public view" and illuminate the actors' "carefully planned clash of positions." There is more to this process than a plea of guilty to reduced charges. The order of ideas in this Comment should be considered as both chronological and at times interactive depending on the facts and law of each case.
