criminal defense law
Are lawyers supposed to receive admissions of guilt from their client? If a client confesses to his/her representation, wouldn’t that make it unethical to submit a plea of not guilty?

The fact-finding process imposes two types of burdens of proof: (1) the burden of production (sometimes called the “burden of going forward (with evidence)”); and (2) the burden of persuasion.
[1] Prosecution Burden of Production – Prior to trial the prosecution must file a document with the court that indicates the crime or crimes it believes that the defendant has committed. This document provides the accused with notice of the essential elements of the offense(s) charged, and the basic facts that the prosecutor intends to prove at trial to support his allegation that the defendant committed the crime(s). The prosecutor must produce enough evidence that a rational trier-of-fact may fairly determine that the elements of the crime have been proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
