This book traces the evolution of plea bargaining from its beginnings in the early nineteenth century to its present pervasive role. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough the first three quarters of the nineteenth century, judges showed far less enthusiasm for plea bargaining than did prosecutors. After all, plea bargaining did not assure judges \"victory\"; judges did not suffer under the workload that prosecutors faced; and judges had principled objections to dickering for justice and to sharing sentencing authority with prosecutors. The revolution in tort law, however, brought on a flood of complex civil cases, which persuaded judges of the wisdom of efficient settlement of criminal cases. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHaving secured the patronage of both prosecutors and judges, plea bargaining quickly grew to be the dominant institution of American criminal procedure. Indeed, it is difficult to name a single innovation in criminal procedure during the last 150 years that has been incompatible with plea bargaining's progress and survived. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Fisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804751358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804751353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/23\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.08h x 5.56w x 0.90d","brand":"George Fisher","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947218272511,"sku":"9780804751353","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_55218194-33f6-48bd-a050-13b36a13fcd7.jpg?v=1681517425","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/plea-bargainings-triumph-george-fisher-9780804751353","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
