captainjackson2004 asked:


Assuming someone has never been arrested before, how would they choose a defense attorney after they have been arrested, detained, or brought in for questioning? They’re in a jail cell or at a police station , and assuming they can afford a good attorney and will not use a public defender, how would they choose a defense attorney? Especially when they only have one phone call? No one answered this question the first time I asked it.
I don’t need an attorney. This is just a general question.

I am the defense attorney in a mock of the My Lai trial, and need to know the attorney’s role.
This is for an 8th grade enrichment class and I don’t know what the military defense attorney’s role is. Is the role the same as any defense attorney?
