Accuracy - ANSWER ✔✔-The condition or quality of being true, correct, or exact; freedom from

Administrative Office of the U.S Courts - ANSWER ✔✔-AOUSC or AO; the central support entity for the

Judicial Branch. It


provides a wide range of administrative, legal, financial, management,

judge in civil and criminal cases.


adversary system - ANSWER ✔✔-A term often applied to the Anglo-American system for resolving


criminal cases because that system involves pitting two adversaries, the government and the defendant,

against each other in court. The


underlying theory of the adversary system is that the clash between two equally matched adversaries is

likely to yield the truth in a given case, that is, what actually happened.


affidavit - ANSWER ✔✔-A sworn written statement. Complaints, search warrants, and arrest


warrants must be supported by affidavits establishing probable cause.


allocution - ANSWER ✔✔-An oral pleading or argument made to the court at sentencing by counsel for

the defendant, the defendant, and the prosecutor. During allocution, the speaker attempts to persuade the

judge that a particular sentence should or should not be imposed.


Appeal - ANSWER ✔✔-A request made after a trial by a party that has lost on one or more issues that a

higher court review the decision to determine if it was correct. To make such a request is "to appeal" or

"to take an appeal." The party who appeals is called the "appellant;" and the other party is the "appellee."

A defendant who has been found guilty after a trial has the right to appeal the conviction to the

appropriate U.S. court of appeals and seek a new trial or other relief. Similarly, when authorized by

statute, a party adversely affected by a sentence imposed by the court or by a pretrial ruling of the court

may appeal that sentence or ruling to the court of appeals and seek a different result.


Appointed Counsel - ANSWER ✔✔-An attorney appointed by the court to represent a person, usually an


indigent person.


Arraignment - ANSWER ✔✔-When the defendant is brought before the court, informed of the charges,

and called upon to enter a plea to the charges. The defendant is given a copy of the indictment or

(unless the matter has been continued from an earlier time).


Arrest - ANSWER ✔✔-Occurs when, either through show of force or actual physical seizure, a law

enforcement officer detains a person or otherwise leads that person to reasonably believe that he or she is

not free to leave.


Assistant Federal Public Defender - ANSWER ✔✔-The public defender fulfills the United States

Constitution's Sixth


Amendment right to counsel by representing those charged with a crime


who cannot afford an attorney. The assistant federal public defender


provides legal representation to clients charged with federal criminal


offenses or involved in other matters mandated by the Act; meets with


clients to establish meaningful attorney-client relationships; directs the


defense investigation of alleged crimes or offenses; researches case law;


prepares pretrial motions; reviews material received from the government


as pretrial discovery; engages in plea negotiations; determines trial


strategies and defense approaches that affect jury selection, opening


statements and closing arguments, client testimony, and cross-


examination of witnesses; conducts sentencing investigations and


prepares sentencing memoranda, and represents clients at sentencing


hearings; prepares post-trial motions; and represents clients at trial, on


appeal, and in other courtroom proceedings.
