Session Submission Summary

Prosecution in the Making I: Context and Operation of Prosecutorial Offices in the Americas

Thu, Nov 14, 9:30 to 10:50am, Salon 13 - Lower B2 Level

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

This is one of two sessions entitled “Prosecution in the Making” established to assemble fresh evidence about the organization of prosecution offices in the United States and Latin America. In particular, featured presentations map patterns of structure, operation, and context of these offices (Panel 1), as well as specific patterns of case-management and decision-making (Panel 2). Drawing on these case studies and other efforts at regional/comparative work, we explore common challenges for research, policy, and advocacy, as well as opportunities for follow-up work to deepen connections to theory and practice.
