This volume presents 25 criminal mitigation sample reports from a
wide range of issues that the criminal defense lawyers must tackle
at the pre-plea and presentence phase of litigation. The mitigation
reports serve to complement the criminal defense lawyer's advocacy
by allowing the criminal defense lawyer to approach the pre-plea or
presentence phase with a more complete understanding of the
client's psychosocial background, mental health needs, family
issues, and any and all other mitigating issues. The goal is to
humanize the client so that the prosecutor and judge can identify
with the traumas and challenges that the client has suffered to
allow for greater empathy and justice.
