Summary

This guidebook examines a prosecutor?s ethical responsibilities when faced with adverse situations in criminal cases. It pays substantial attention to determining the proper role of a prosecutor and discusses ethical and constitutional constraints on prosecutorial discretion at each stage of the criminal justice process. Topics in this reference include contacting and interviewing witnesses, grand jury practice, determining charges, pre-trial discovery, plea bargaining, jury selection, trial conduct and publicity. The latest version of the American Bar Association?s Model Rules (through 2004) also is highlighted throughout the book, drawing frequent comparisons to significant state variations of the model rules.
