Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

Current standards of effective assistance of counsel often force attorneys to appeal even if the chances of success are small and, thus, many appeals lack substantial merit. There are two main reasons that most criminal cases are affirmed on appeal. First, appellate courts are highly deferential to trial courts and, therefore, the rules of appeal are designed not to disturb cases unless a serious, reversible error has occurred. Second, appellate courts rarely find a reversible error.
