I work for a PD's office. We have a bunch of idiots who plead everything on the first offer, but we also have some attorneys who are very dedicated to public interest law and work themselves ragged for their clients. From what I've seen of the distribution of lazy idiots among my town's private attorneys our office seems to be a pretty good cross-section. Our problem right now is that the local DA's office (full of law-and-order crazed folks who all despise one another and apparently themselves) now has a policy that if we don't take whatever is offered in sessions they won't negotiate in criminal court. Mark one for the slackers.
