The Gotham DA's Office

[jla-extras.livejournal.com]

He's here late again. The piles of folders scattered across every available surface wouldn't seem to change from day to day; but truth be told, he clears at least fifteen cases off the desk a day - mostly plea-bargains. The trial process costs the taxpayers money, and doesn't guarantee results. Sometimes deals have to be made - a lesser sentence for one criminal to snag a bigger one.

It's the system, and Max knows the system well.

He's alone in the office, writing an appellate brief for another case. Law books sit open on one side of the desk. The folder on Muns rests at his elbow, awaiting his attention.
