United States attorneys' manual
Book • 1976
The United States Attorneys' Manual, now known as the Justice Manual since a comprehensive revision and renaming in 2018, is an internal document used by the Department of Justice.
It consolidates major DOJ policies and procedures related to investigation, litigation, and prosecution of federal crimes.
The Manual guides Assistant United States Attorneys and other DOJ employees in their duties, including charging decisions, plea bargaining, and sentencing considerations.
It reflects updates emphasizing victims' interests and directives to pursue the most serious offenses based on sentencing guidelines.
Although it does not carry the force of law, it is a key resource for DOJ personnel and was the first major rewrite of the manual in over 20 years.
