It is fundamental in our purpose, and our express desire, that in the appointments to the staff and faculty, as well as in the admission of workers and students, no account shall be taken, directly or indirectly, of race, religion, or sex.

  • History of the U.S. Attorneys
    Bicentennial Celebration of the United States Attorneys 1789 - 1989 "The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor– indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one." QUOTED FROM STATEMENT OF MR. JUSTICE SUTHERLAND, BERGER V. UNITED STATES, 295 U. S. 88 (1935) Note: The information in this document was compiled from historical records maintained by the Offices of the United States Attorneys and by the Department of Justice. Every effort has been made to prepare accurate information. In some instances, this document mentions officials without the “United States Attorney” title, who nevertheless served under federal appointment to enforce the laws of the United States in federal territories prior to statehood and the creation of a federal judicial district. INTRODUCTION In this, the Bicentennial Year of the United States Constitution, the people of America find cause to celebrate the principles formulated at the inception of the nation Alexis de Tocqueville called, “The Great Experiment.” The experiment has worked, and the survival of the Constitution is proof of that.

  • Lawmakers Must Realize They Can Go to Prison
    Printer-friendly article page Page 1 of 2 This is a printer friendly version of an article from the Courier-Post To print this article open the file menu and choose Print. Back Lawmakers must realize they can go to prison TRENTON If you want to know why New Jersey politics continues to stink, just look at the case of John Lynch -- former Democratic political boss, state senator and mentor to former Gov. James E. McGreevey -- who has been reduced to the ranks of common criminal. U.S. Attorney Chris Christie nailed Lynch for mail fraud and income tax evasion and Lynch was sentenced to three years and three months in the feds' Gray Bar Hotel. Judge Stanley R. Chesler also fined Lynch $50,000 to "send a message to public officials." Great guy? Lynch's lawyer, John Arseneault, gave the judge 172 letters talking about what a great guy Lynch is. Some of them came from legislators. One gets the impression Lynch and his supporters aren't sorry he used his influence for money, just that he was caught doing it. One can only wonder what must be going through the minds of lawmakers under investigation now that they realize there is a very real possibility they can go to prison, too. Wait until the next ones are indicted and have to step down. Fellow lawmakers will heap praise as if the crooks are the best things that ever happened to this state. And their criminal activity will be but a momentary lack of judgment in a sea of monumental great deeds.

  • April 2017 Welcome Jim Cox
    APRIL 2017 WELCOME JIM COX y many measures, 2016 was the most successful year in the Globe’s history. We sold more dollars’ worth of tickets and raised more contributed income than in any other year. We sent three shows to Broadway; provided jobs to nearly 700 artists, craftspeople, technicians, and arts administrators; and generated tens of millions of dollars of economic activity in our city. BAll of these are successes that numbers can measure, that metrics can benchmark and count. X number of dollars, Y number of tickets, Z number of people. But what about the successes that defy algebraic representation? Other than through numbers, how can we know when The Old Globe succeeds? We can know that the Globe is succeeding because we value what it does, and the value we affix to the Globe is our way of measuring it. Values are a lot like numbers. They are palpable, material. We can hold values, we can weigh them, we can assess them. Like numbers, they can guide us. Like numbers, they can tell us whether we are close or far from our goals. And like numbers, values can be stated. It is our honor to introduce to you a newly articulated Statement of Values that The Old Globe will use to conduct its work moving forward. We generated this statement over nearly two years of work. It has made its way through our Board and our staff. It is being fed into our workflow and our decision-making processes, and it is being applied both internally and externally.
