I think authors who are writing legal crime fiction need to have connections with prosecutors and defenders to understand each side.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-21317198000130675122016-01-24T18:46:04.079-06:002016-01-24T18:46:04.079-06:00Kathy D.: Thanks for the comment.

With everyone understanding the distinction and bound by professional rules lawyers can avoid conflicts in interest from personal contacts wtih opposing lawyers.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-48228739952518695632016-01-24T06:59:05.620-06:002016-01-24T06:59:05.620-06:00Thanks, Bill, for this insight.

One gets a really broad perspective on how the law works, what it takes to win one's case and so on. As you say, it's different for police. And it'll be very interesting to see where Harry goes from here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-86103254580292711022016-01-23T23:02:43.556-06:002016-01-23T23:02:43.556-06:00Very interesting comments here.

However, there are some lawyers who switch their careers from one to the other, but don't do both or go back and forth.<br /><br />I remember when I worked for years for a non-profit civil liberties organization that I was horrified when the attorneys with whom I worked played basketball with the city's attorneys, the very lawyers who were on the other side in lawsuits they brought against the city. Shocking to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
