i read this last week and can't really remember what it said but it pertained mainly to federal court, while the vast majority of crimes are prosecuted in state court. i only have experience in state courts of one county of one state. however i do agree the penalty for trial is great. it sucks. we have some great cases that have to be pleas because if you get in front of the wrong judge or there is a mandatory minimum or whatever hoo boy. so dependent on the judge. some judges are really terrible.

while i read it i thought it was written by the husband of the 'tiger mother' author who is an academic lawyer but then i realised i had got jed r(akoff) and jed r(ubenfeld) confused
i thought his suggestions were reasonable anyway, without knowing anything more about the subject matter
what proprortion of federal trials are drug trade related?
