By statute, US Attorneys serve for four year terms, which are commonly (but not always) extended by inaction -- in practice, they serve until replaced. They serve at the pleasure of the President, but often have very strong home-state political juice, including with their Senators. Before executing this plan, we wanted to give your offices a heads up and seek input on changes that might reduce the profile or political fallout.

  • Rethinking the Identity and Role of United States Attorneys
    Rethinking the Identity and Role of United States Attorneys Sara Sun Beale* The reputation and credibility of the Department of Justice were badly tarnished during the Bush administration. This article focuses on concerns regarding the role of partisan politics.1 Critics charge that during the Bush administration improper partisan political considerations pervasively influenced a wide range of decisions including the selection of immigration judges, summer interns and line attorneys; the assignment of career attorneys to particular details; the evaluation of the performance of United States Attorneys; and the decision whether and when to file charges in cases with political ramifications. The Inspector General’s lengthy and highly critical reports have substantiated some of these charges.2 The first two Inspector General (IG) Reports found that the Department improperly used political criteria in hiring and assigning some immigration judges, interns, and career prosecutors.3 The third report * Charles L.B. Lowndes Professor, Duke Law School, Durham, N.C. I would like to acknowledge the outstanding research assistance provided by Michael Devlin, Meghan Ferguson, Amy Taylor, and Molly Brownfield, and the helpful comments of Norman Abrams, Albert Alschuler, Rachel Barkow, Anthony Barkow, Candace Carroll, Colm Connolly, Ronald Goldstock, Bruce Green, Lisa Kern Griffin, James Jacobs, Susan Klein, Daniel Richman, and Adam Safwat. Of course any errors are my own. 1 Other serious concerns about the Department have been raised, particularly in connection with its role in the war on terror. For example, the Department has been the subject of intense criticism for legal analysis that led to the authorization of brutal interrogation techniques for detainees.

  • Depoliticizing the Interim Appointments of US Attorneys
    LIVE AND LEARN: DEPOLITICIZING THE INTERIM APPOINTMENTS OF U.S. ATTORNEYS t Laurie L. Levenson 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.' I. INTRODUCTION U.S. Attorneys play a special role in our federal criminal justice system. As the representatives of the federal government, they have the responsibility of enforcing federal laws in their respective districts.2 3 Although U.S. Attorneys serve "at the pleasure of the President," the4 goal is to have a fair and impartial prosecutor administering the laws. The recent firing of eight U.S. Attorneys has called into question at- tempts to politicize the role of this vital Office. By attempting to give the Attorney General the power to make indefinite interim appointments, I Professor of Law, William M. Rains Fellow & Director, Center for Ethical Advocacy, Loyola Law School. Thank you to John McKay, a man of true integrity, for inviting me to participate in the Symposium at Seattle University School of Law. His courage, as well as that of his fellow U.S. Attorneys, Paul Carlton, David Iglesias, Bill Cummins III, and Carol Lam, should serve as an inspi- ration for others dedicated to public service. I also wish to extend my gratitude to the editors of the Seattle University Law Review and to my wonderful research assistants, Emil Petrossian, Lindsay Meurs, William Smyth, and Mary Gordon.

Judge James D. Hopkins This is the James D. Hopkins Memorial Lecture in honor of Judge Hopkins, who was the Dean of Pace Law School from 1982 to 1983 and earlier served with great distinction on the New York Appellate Division's Second Judicial Department. Judge Hopkins served on that court when I worked in the spe­ cial prosecutor's office, and as head of the appeals bureau, I ar­ gued several cases in Judge Hopkins' court. One case stands out, the case ofSalvatore Nigrone v. Murtagh.! It was an exten­ sive undercover investigation. My office used informants, wire­ taps, and a sham arrest to expose corrupt attempts to influence criminal cases." As a result, a grand jury indicted three judges and two lawyers for perjury before the grandjury.3 On a motion * Professor of Law and James D.
