Prosecutors have an ethical duty to avoid bias and uphold constitutional rights, rooted in their unique role within the justice system. Unlike other attorneys, their mission goes beyond advocacy; it is to seek justice. Despite the increased scrutiny to be fair and impartial, while at the same time carrying larger caseloads, with more digital evidence, prosecutors around the country consistently strive to do the right thing.
To that end, ProsecutionAI serves as a valuable tool to support these efforts, acting as a backstop to reinforce fairness and impartiality. This tool strengthens your capacity to deliver justice, acknowledging your dedication to fairness in an environment of complex demands.
ProsecutionAI: Upholding Justice with Integrity
As a prosecutor, you hold a unique and ethical duty to ensure justice is served, differentiating them from other attorneys whose primary focus is advocacy. Your mission is to fairly arbitrate justice, recognizing the need to avoid bias and uphold constitutional rights. As highlighted in Berger v. U.S., 295 U.S. 78, 88 (1935),
“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.” Id. Criminal Prosecutors, “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.” Id.
The American Bar Association (ABA) Model Code of Professional Responsibility reinforces this, emphasizing that a prosecutor’s role is to “seek justice, not merely to convict.” In Connick v. Thompson, the Supreme Court reaffirmed that prosecutors must avoid tactics that could result in wrongful convictions. Similarly, U.S. v. Agurs reiterates the prosecutor’s dual duty: to ensure neither the guilty escape nor the innocent suffer, setting high ethical standards for these professionals.
As a result, you face greater consequences than most other attorneys when they make mistakes. Here, ProsecutionAI emerges as a vital tool, enhancing your ability to maintain these ethical standards.
