Part 39 · Disposition Without Trial

Rule 39-2. Discussions with Defendant

Amended January 1, 2026 (current)

The prosecuting authority shall not engage in plea discussions at the disposition conference, or at other times, directly with a defendant who is represented by counsel, except with such counsel's approval.
