Summary
This document is a page from the Minnesota Law Review (Vol 103) produced by attorney David Schoen for the House Oversight Committee (Bates stamp HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016529). The text discusses the legal theory of 'Federalism Safeguards on Prosecutorial Discretion,' specifically analyzing how the U.S. system allows federal prosecutors to override or 'second-guess' state prosecutors' decisions not to prosecute (declination decisions), contrasting this with models in Canada, Germany, and Australia. The footnotes discuss historical racial inequities in the U.S. justice system and EU directives on crime victims' rights.
