Which of the following is NOT listed as a strength of legal practitioners?

• A. Can avoid delays
• B. Experts in the criminal justice system
• C. Objective
• D. High cost

Answer: (D)

This item tests which quality is not considered a strength of legal practitioners. Legal practitioners are valued for efficiency in moving cases forward (avoiding delays), deep knowledge of how the criminal justice system works, and the ability to apply rules and evidence objectively. The option describing high cost does not fit as a strength—costliness doesn’t improve legal outcomes and can create barriers to access to justice, making it a weakness or drawback rather than a strength.
