This handbook explores every aspect of the prosecutor’s multiple roles, relates them to commonly encountered real-world situations, and gives practical guidance for handling those situations. It investigates the history, theory, and philosophy of prosecution and provides the student with a conceptual framework for employing sound techniques of ethical prosecution. By taking a holistic approach to prosecution, it looks at each stage of prosecution from the vantage point of the prosecutor, enabling students to receive maximum benefit from the clinical setting and preparing them for the efficient discharge of their duties as entry level prosecutors.
