    CJ204 Courtroom Work Group

    The courtroom work group is known to keep the courtroom in order, and to successfully help bring the procedure to a close. Courtroom work groups are made up of professionals such as a judge, prosecutor, defense attorneys, public defenders, and others such as bailiff and court reporters. These players work together and help to prosecute those who’ve committed crimes for the overall wellbeing of society. This work group also serves to deter criminals from becoming repeat offenders, or from committing other crimes. The most important function of the courtroom work group is to make sure that the court is responsible for using laws created by the government to help the wellbeing of the citizens within society.

These individuals, who together form the courtroom workgroup, share a common task environment and work together to achieve the common goal of disposing of cases.”…
