Imagine you are a public defender and dealing with a difficult client. There is a lot of tension between you two. The client is rude, disrespectful, and often fails to cooperate. This is a common occurrence in your field; you've been through it often and have witnessed it with others. Defendants' lack of trust and confidence in their lawyers is a major force in shaping the dynamics of courthouse justice. Defendants try to con their attorneys, and the lawyers respond by exhibiting disbelief when defendants state unrealistic expectations or invent implausible alibis. What can you do to try to ease tensions? Is it worth sticking with, or do you feel that sometimes it's a good idea for public defenders to leave their position? Explain.
