FCPA Compliance Report

Don Stern on the US Attorney Offices

Listen Later

In this episode, I am joined by Don Stern, Managing Director at Affiliated Monitors and former US Attorney for Massachusetts. We discuss the 93 US Attorneys offices across the US; how they work, how are cases worked up and their interaction with Main Justice in Washington. 

Some of the highlights include:

  • What is the Dept of Justice structure including the US Attorneys?
  • What is the role of a US Attorney?
  • Is policy set at Main Justice in Washington and then carried out in offices across the country? 
  • What is the relationship of the US Attorney offices to Main Justice?
  • Does a US Attorney or the office decide to open an investigation or does the FBI or other investigative agency bring information to the US District Attorney and ask them to prosecute?
  • If there is a prosecution of a Main Justice investigation, who staffs the matter at trial?
  • How are cases worked up in US Attorney’s offices?
