Department of Justice Manual, 4th Edition (1-year Online Subscription)

The Department of Justice Manual, Fourth Edition includes the top to bottom revision of the United States Attorney’s Manual, recently renamed the Justice Manual. This new Manual removed redundancies, clarifies previous ambiguities, and has been thoroughly updated to reflect current law and practice. This essential manual takes you inside all the policies and directives outlined in the Justice Manual used universally by the DOJ in civil and criminal prosecutions. Along with comprehensive coverage of all the information relied on by today's DOJ attorneys, this guide offers you other valuable DOJ publications in the form of Commentary.

You'll discover how to:

• Request immunity for clients using actual terminology from factors that DOJ attorneys must consider
• Phrase a FOIA request so as to avoid coming within an exempted category of information
• Draft discovery requests using terminology to avoid triggering an automatic denial by the DOJ
• Counsel clients on DOJ investigative tactics and their significance using actual DOJ memoranda ;
• Develop trial strategies that exploit common problems with certain methods of proof and kinds of evidence offered by the government
• Propose settlements or plea-bargain agreements within the authority of the DOJ attorney handling the case.
