Excerpt
When one hears the term criminal court, one immediately conjures up images of elaborate, formal proceedings involving judges, juries, witnesses, and so on. The formal criminal trial is an important aspect of justice, but it is used in a small minority of cases. The majority of cases are decided rather informally, by negotiations between the attorneys in the case.
