Ethical Issues Facing Prosecutors Are Very Different from Those Confronting

question 13

Multiple Choice

Ethical issues facing prosecutors are very different from those confronting defense attorneys because prosecutors do not represent individual clients. Prosecutors often define their jobs as representing victims of crime and the police, but these are not typically considered to fit under the attorney–client relationship. Rather, the client of the prosecutor is the government, and for this reason prosecutors are given special responsibilities.
