Wagner And Winick On The Law

Join Cohosts Stephen Wagner and Mitchel Winick to learn about some of the critical differences between the rules that regulate criminal vs. civil trials. As a senior prosecutor, Wagner explains the effect of a new California ethics rule that expands the requirements for criminal prosecutors to dismiss cases that do not meet high standards of proof and affirmatively seek redress if presented evidence of a wrongful conviction. Under the new ethics rule, prosecutors are charged with serving as ministers of justice to see that justice is served. Wagner also explains the different responsibilities and roles that lawyers have in civil vs. criminal cases.
