Synopsis

Plea Bargaining, fifth edition, is the only comprehensive, fully up-to-date reference on the subject teaches how to negotiate the best deal. It discusses the nature, types, and goals of plea bargaining, and treats in detail a wide variety of styles and strategies. Attorneys on both sides of the aisle know that effective plea bargaining is both an art and a science. The fifth edition, fully reviewed and revised to reflect the 2018 changes to the U.S. Attorneys Manual offers extensive analysis of plea bargaining in state and federal courts, the process of negotiating with the U.S. Attorney under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, as well as the plea policies of the Department of Justice contained in the Justice Manual and the Principles of Federal Prosecution. Other pertinent standards and rules such as the ABA Standards for Criminal Justice, National District Attorneys Association Prosecution Standards and the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct are also discussed and analyzed.

Designed for practitioner and student alike, the fifth edition combines the experience of two seasoned law professors and litigators, to provide readers with
