Discussion Board
For this week's DB, please answer the following prompt:
Discuss the role of shared decision making in courts. Does this violate the principles of the adversary system because cooperation among the courthouse actors may translate into a culture where defendant's rights fail to have any real meaning?
Next, discuss how the television portrays the courtroom differently than it is in reality. Are there any other television shows you can think of other than Law & Order that provide an inaccurate view of the courts?
Are there any television shows that provide a more realistic view? If so, are there any ways in which they are still inaccurate?
