Sentencing and sanctions are two post-trial procedural activities in the criminal justice system. A sentence involves the court’s determination of any prison time and other requirements to be imposed. A penalty can sometimes apply to the conduct of the attorneys in the case. Such penalties are not common, but when conduct by an attorney interferes with the justice system or grossly violates the procedures a court can impose them. Sentencing and sanctions usually occur some days after the conviction and both sides have the opportunity to presents facts and data to influence the court’s decision.
