Cardozo Law Review

Abstract

The article discusses organizational guidelines for the office of the prosecutor. It argues that it is time for the prosecutors to recognize that their own offices should be held to the same standards as other organizations. It describes the pressures that lead to the prosecutorial misconduct and the lack of any effective checks on this behavior. It outlines the parallels between prosecutorial misconduct and the misconduct of corporate employees, and describes how prosecutors have addressed organizational misconduct in the corporate context. It explains how the corporate compliance model could be practically applied to prosecutors' offices.
