From the supplier: The competence of criminal clients to join their attorneys in making decisions about their cases is important whether or not these come to trial. Research indicates that attorneys’ paternalism explains much of their trial behavior and decisions about client competence. The findings of a study at the Center for Forensic Psychiatry suggest that competence in criminal trials should be more carefully evaluated and that some solution such as surrogate decisionmaking should be found for defendants who cannot stand trial.
