Description

Do No Wrong: Ethics for Prosecutors and Defenders Peter A Joy ISBN 9781604422696

Do No Wrong: Ethics for Prosecutors and Defenders offers practical guidance on resolving some of the most challenging ethical dilemmas faced by criminal practitioners. The book addresses critical questions such as:

  • To what extent may prosecutors or defense counsel invoke religion during closing arguments?

  • Who ultimately decides whether to raise an insanity defense or present mitigation evidence—the lawyer or the client?

  • Is a defendant entitled to receive Brady material before entering into a plea agreement?

  • Under what circumstances may the defense introduce evidence of an alternative perpetrator, including a SODDI (“some other dude did it”) theory?

Each chapter concludes with a curated list of research resources to support further study. Beyond common ethical issues encountered in daily practice, the book also explores emerging and evolving concerns, including attorney participation in client media strategies and ongoing policy debates surrounding the appropriate roles and responsibilities of prosecutors and defense counsel.
