The Adversarial Due Process System

Question 2 • Introduction to Law, Public Safety, Corrections, and Security

What is a major disadvantage to the adversarial system?

Answer
A
There are always more than two sides to a trial.
B
Attorneys are often unequal in skills and expense.
C
The judge delays court dates, so there is much expense in holding offenders in jail.
D
The lawyers have too great a time burden placed on them.

Explanation

A major disadvantage of the adversarial system is that the two sides may not have equally skilled or well-funded attorneys. This imbalance can affect how effectively each side presents its case, even when the evidence deserves careful consideration. Therefore, “Attorneys are often unequal in skills and expense” is the correct choice.
