Dash_Harber 08/19/17 10:47:06 PM #2:	I believe it is up to you, since you can actually seek different counsel if you feel your lawyer is not properly representing you IIRC. I'm by no means an expert, though (or even a novice). <cite>Dash_Harber posted [p:885090839] in If your la...

Also whether the lawyer stops representing you is up to themselves I thought that a lawyer who stopped representing their client mid-trial could face possible disbarment depending on the reason, no? If the client is behaving in ways against their legal counsel and they have no faith that their service is having a positive impact upon their client they generally at least avoid any penalty. Though, the judge also will usually not grant them permission to be relieved. As far as just the act of taking a plea bargain, the lawyer would always be required to state to the judge the terms of it and that they (strongly) advised their client to take it, and thus it helps relieve the negative impact upon their record should it go to trial. Well, depending on the severity of the crime that is. Basically, kinda? --- Pokemon Moon FC: 1994-2190-5020 IGN: Vanessa <cite>gunplagirl posted [p:885091260] in If your la...

The state law is based off of French Law, but Federal Law is based off English Common Law like the entire rest of the US States. IIRC, Canada is like that too. The minute you cross the border into Quebec, the English common law is superseded by French law. Must make cross border cases a spectacular pain in the ass. I'm sure that even the things you guys already explained don't apply everywhere, too, since every state/province/territory has its own particular idiosyncrasies. <cite>Dash_Harber posted [p:885092143] in If your la...
