This book examines a prosecutor's ethical responsibilities
throughout the criminal justice process in both federal and state
practice, and explores constitutional and ethical constraints on
prosecutorial discretion. Topics are ordered sequentially as they
occur in the progression of a typical criminal case, including the
prosecutor's role in the conduct of investigations, contacting and
interviewing witnesses, grand jury practice, charging, pre-trial
discovery, plea bargaining, jury selection, trial conduct,
sentencing, media contacts and post-conviction remedies. The focal
point of discussion in each of these areas is a prosecutor's
ethical responsibilities under the American Bar Association's Model
Rules of Professional Conduct (through 2019) drawing frequent
comparisons to significant state variations on the Model Rules, and
supplemental guidance provided by the ABA's Criminal Justice
Standards: Prosecution Function; the National District Attorneys
Standards; and, the Justice Department Manual. The authors also
examine constitutional constraints on prosecutorial discretion
(particularly under the 5th and 6th Amendments) that at times may
deviate from or supplement ethical norms. For the purposes of
brevity and ease of reference, the book deviates from the
traditional casebook format by summarizing rather than reprinting
significant case decisions. Each chapter concludes with practical
problems designed to promote class discussion about the appropriate
exercise of prosecutorial discretion in hypothetical situations.
The book is designed to be used either in a stand-alone seminar on
prosecutorial ethics, or as a companion to materials used in a
prosecution clinic.
