From the Paper:

"Cooperation between Defense and Prosecution and Criminal Courts The following paper shall briefly discuss the surprisingly degree of cooperation that informs relations between prosecutors and defense attorneys at trial. While it is tempting to suppose that the two sides are locked in constant combat and turmoil, their obligations under the law and the characteristic goings-on of criminal court cases actually a level of cooperation that might startle people unfamiliar with the legal process. With this in mind, the following paper will illustrate that even lawyers embroiled in a heated case are far more likely to work together for the cause of justice than they are to work against one another. Surprising though it may sound, defense attorneys and state prosecutors do work together - up to a point."
