Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A negotiated agreement before a full trial is completed is commonly known as a plea bargain. Option A is incorrect as a misdemeanor refers to a type of offense. Option C, taking the Fifth, refers to an individual's right to remain silent and avoid self-incrimination, which is different from resolving a case through negotiated agreement. Option D, a writ of certiorari, is a legal order for a case to be reviewed by a higher court, which is not related to resolving a case through negotiation. Option E, mediation, is a process of resolving disputes through a neutral third party, which may or may not lead to a negotiated agreement, but it is not limited to legal cases.
