Topic: Defense Attorneys and Avoiding Tyranny

The founding fathers crafted a purposeful tension between each branch of government and between the powers exercised by the state and federal systems. The American criminal justice system is a continuation of the foundational belief that a separation of powers, both horizontally and vertically, is essential to ensuring one’s freedom. The role of defense attorney is often misunderstood by the public, but a zealous defense of the accused, even the guilty, is vital to avoiding the onset of tyranny.

Beginning with the Reading & Study material, discuss the practical challenges facing members of the defense bar in each of the areas listed below:

• • Balancing family demands, law practice viability, personal integrity and professionalism.

  • Zealously advocating for rights of the accused, protecting the truly innocent, and ensuring equal justice for the guilty.

  • Compare and contrast the roles of defense attorney with the scriptural depictions of Jesus the Christ as an advocate for the saints throughout Scripture.

• Answer all of the questions listed in each case study.

• Incorporate 2 scholarly sources in your original threads, using proper APA formatting.

•
