Description:
A panel of prosecutors and defense attorneys explore the key issue of whether criminal lawyers should ascertain the complete truth from their clients as well as other ethical dilemmas confronted by criminal practitioners.

•  Must a lawyer believe his or her client's testimony?
•  Why do clients lie?
•  What should a lawyer do after learning that the client lied?

This course provides a fascinating discussion no matter which perspective you come from -- prosecution or defense.
