Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to concerns about the professionalism and conduct of some Department of Justice attorneys, as well as the process of holding them accountable to ethical standards, this report provides information on Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR). GAO obtained information on the types of allegations OPR was able to substantiate against attorneys, the source of the allegations, the specific allegations, and OPR's recommendations for disciplinary actions. OPR generally placed its findings in the attorneys' official personnel folder, either temporarily or permanently, depending on the severity of misconduct. OPR said that although some attorneys under investigation retired or resigned from the Department, it was unable to determine whether they left because of the investigation. Those attorneys would deny that their departure was triggered by the investigation, and OPR officials said it would be difficult to establish a cause-an-effect relationship. OPR would, however, continue the investigation if other Justice employees were involved or if the allegations were serious. When OPR administratively closed a case because the issues were before the courts, it flagged these cases in its tracking system so that it could continue its investigations at a later date.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the operations of the Department of Justice's (DOJ) Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), focusing on the: (1) contents of OPR case files; and (2) quality of OPR investigations. GAO found that: (1) OPR investigates allegations of criminal and ethical misconduct against DOJ employees, including such offenses as drug use, assault, improper disclosure of grand jury information, and improper acceptance of gratuities; (2) of the 411 cases OPR investigated, it substantiated the allegations in 9 percent of the cases, could not substantiate the allegations in 67 percent of the cases, and closed 24 percent of the cases without completing its investigation; (3) half of the 411 cases involved allegations against officials in U.S. Attorneys' offices, 24 percent involved DOJ division employees, and 15 percent involved DOJ component employees; (4) of the 50 cases reviewed that OPR monitored, allegations were substantiated in whole or in part in 9 cases, allegations were not substantiated in 25 cases, and OPR closed 16 cases; (5) since OPR does not require extensive case file documentation, the degree of documentation in OPR case files varies widely; and (6) OPR does not always follow all investigative leads.
