Imagine you are a member of a courtroom work group. You notice there is a general lack of cooperation for a particular defense attorney working there. You know that every court community can point to an attorney who has suffered sanctions, with the result that the attorney either no longer practices criminal law in the area or has mended his or her ways. Because the defense attorney is the least powerful member of the courtroom work group, such sanctions force them into a reactive posture. Hoping to help this attorney, you decide to talk to her one day, and explain how her cooperation would get her further in her case objectives. What kinds of things can you tell her that would be helpful? Who can help her in particular, and how?
