Which of the following features is unique to criminal trials compared to civil trials?

  1. Settlement negotiations

  2. Unethical conduct

  3. Plea bargaining

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: Plea bargaining

Settlement negotiations, although similar to plea bargaining in that they both involve parties coming to an agreement, typically involve civil cases rather than criminal cases. Unethical conduct would not be a correct term as both parties would be willingly and legally engaging in the negotiations. "None of the above" would also not be correct as C is the most accurate term for this specific scenario. Plea bargaining is a common practice in the criminal justice system to expedite cases and reduce the workload on the courts.
