Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ethical rules do not prohibit prosecutors from engaging in plea bargaining, but they do require prosecutors to uphold justice and the integrity of the legal system. This includes avoiding coercion, ensuring defendants understand their rights and consequences of accepting a plea, and not engaging in plea bargaining that undermines the truth-seeking function of the trial process.
