To obtain a useful overview of the plea negotiation process, counsel should consider reviewing general sources on this subject.[1] It may be useful to review the American Bar Association Standards governing the prosecution’s duties in the plea negotiation process.[2] Counsel should also be aware of the responsibilities of defense counsel under the ABA Standards on the Defense Function.[3] A great deal of very valuable research has been conducted on the negotiation process in general.
