Section I. Act Name

Section II. Commencement

Section III. Reasoning

Section IV. Limitations to Representation

Section V. Damages and Punishments




The Parliament of Stratham Enacts;

Section I. Act Name​

1. This act is the Prosecutorial Integrity Act.

Section II. Commencement​

1. All provisions of this act are to be effective immediately after passage by the Parliament of Stratham.
2. In cases of conflicts with previous legislation regarding the topics covered by this Act, this Act is to take precedence.

Section III. Reasoning​

1. Recently there have been cases of Prosecutors working for clients in a private capacity and concerns have been raised regarding a conflict of interest. Prosecutors should not be able to represent clients who are suing the government (the Prosecutor's employer) or a government official. When representing someone in a private capacity, lawyers need to work in their clients interest, however if a prosecutor were to take a private case, they are not only working in their client’s interest, but also the government’s interest. Our citizens not only deserve quality representation within our courts, but they also deserve lawyers who are guaranteed to represent them in every capacity.

Section IV. Limitations to Representation​

1. Prosecutors who are officially employed by the Office of the Attorney General may not practice law privately in any capacity or represent individuals, businesses, and corporations.
2. Prosecutors who are officially employed by the Office of the Attorney General may not be employed by a private law practice or law firm.

Section V. Damages and Punishments​

1. The Attorney General may terminate a Prosecutor if they are found to be in violation of the Prosecutorial Integrity Act.
2. The Attorney General may pursue legal damages in the event that a Prosecutor practices law in a private capacity.
