(B)  Resources.  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.  See § 8.14, infra.
