Summary
This document is page 252 of a larger legal filing (Exhibit SA-278), originating from the DOJ (DOJ-OGR-00021454) and filed in the Ghislaine Maxwell case (1:20-cr-00330-AJN). It outlines Department of Justice policies regarding 'Consultation With a Government Attorney,' specifically detailing the rights of victims to confer with prosecutors about major case decisions like plea agreements and dismissals, while explicitly stating that this does not create an attorney-client relationship. It lists factors responsible officials must consider when deciding whether to notify victims of plea negotiations, such as public safety and the number of victims.
