Question 1 of 50👑 VIP
Passage 1 — Read the following and answer questions 1–5. 'The adversarial system of justice, in which opposing counsel fight for their respective clients, is often criticised for prioritising victory over truth. Prosecutors seek convictions; defence lawyers seek acquittals. Neither is formally tasked with discovering what actually happened. Critics argue that this structure systematically distorts the search for justice. Proponents respond that truth is more reliably found through the collision of competing arguments than through any single inquisitor's inquiry. There is historical support for this view: inquisitorial systems, used across continental Europe, have produced both celebrated acquittals and notorious wrongful convictions at rates not obviously lower than adversarial ones. The real question may not be which system is more accurate in the aggregate, but which produces more consistent protections for the accused.' Which of the following best describes the author's overall position?
