[37]         A competent lawyer will review the Crown’s case with an accused prior to trial. However, there is no one way to do this. Some lawyers may give the accused a copy of disclosure, some may allow the accused to review disclosure at their office, some may review the Crown’s case orally with the accused, and some may use a combination of methods. Lawyers may take different approaches for different cases depending on factors such as: the nature and volume of the disclosure; the accused’s familiarity with the Crown’s case independent of the disclosure; and the personal attributes of the accused, such as, age, experience with the justice system, level of literacy or education, and cognitive ability.
