Theoretical Perspectives on Defense Lawyers

Chapter 7 in Financial Crime and Knowledge Workers, 2014, pp 123-134 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It is difficult to overstate the importance of theory to understand white-collar crime lawyers and attorney-client relationships. Theory allows analysts to understand and predict outcomes on the basis of probability. Theory also allows analysts to describe and explain a process or sequence of events. Theory prevents analysts from being bewildered by the complexity of the real world by providing a linguistic tool for organizing a coherent understanding of the real world.
