Abstract

This Article focuses on how standards of prosecutorial conduct are enforced. As will be discussed, the process for sanctioning wrongful conduct of federal prosecutors is structurally inadequate. Federal prosecutors are subject to discipline by as many as four different authorities. Yet, each of the available disciplinary mechanisms is itself deficient. Furthermore, the diffusion of responsibility among different mechanisms compounds the problem.
