Role of Defense Lawyer
Defense Lawyer is an essential part of the judiciary system that seeks justice to the innocent. The role
played by the lawyer is always in question. Thus it is his duty to satisfy the innocent party and lawfully take
the proceeding. Attorney Miya Griggs Our judiciary system comprises judges or jury, the lawyer of the
victim, and the defense lawyer, and everyone has a definite role. The honorable judge ought to be honest,
and impartial.
Defense Lawyer
The judge's role is the most crucial because the fate of
the whole case depends on his decision. Next comes
the prosecutor's role, who argues in favor of the
government and tries to prove the accused guilty. The
defense lawyer's role is to present everything which is
in favor of the defendant. The accused is tried in the
court of law in such a manner that there is no room of
relaxation for the defendant and everything possible
proofs are presented in the court to convict the accused
and lawyer who is fighting in favor of the defendant
must see that there is no misuse of authority.
Court of Law
There are several safety measures laid down by the
government to abstain people from abusing the state's
power. Lots of evidence is required to prove the
accused guilty of the crime committed by him, and the
defendant is not bound to prove himself innocent,
neither he is asked to tell the chain of events in which
the crime was committed. According to Attorney Miya
Griggs, the accused is found guilty after a thorough
investigation and is arrested if all shreds of evidence are
against him. The defendant could plead his case in the
court through his advocate as he enjoys all civil rights to
argue his case.
A Crime is Committed
The defense lawyer should take the accused's guarantee and must ensure that the defendant
should abide by the judge's decision. The defense lawyer's job is to disapprove the
prosecutor's argument and try to prove them false by fresh evidence so that the jury could be
convinced. The lawyer who is fighting on behalf of the accused should challenge all the
proofs put by the prosecutor and overrule them. The proofs and other documents must be
lawful so that the parties related can get justice.
Judge's Decision
The accused must appoint his lawyer as early as
possible so that he could save himself in the initial
proceedings, thus purchasing more time to furnish fresh
evidence. The essential factor here is that both the
parties must be heard properly, and the proofs must be
judged properly as well. The defense lawyer fights for
the bail of the accused at the beginning of the hearing,
which could help the advocate prepare a defense as
said by Attorney Miya Griggs. Thus, the defense
lawyer's essential role is to be carried out sincerely as
both the parties rely on the lawyer and jury for justice.
