Jerri U. Dunston, Director
In 1994, the Department recognized the need for a program dedicated
to resolving professional responsibility issues faced by Department
attorneys and Assistant United States Attorneys. As a result, on April
14, 1999, the Department officially established the Professional Responsibility
Advisory Office (PRAO) as an independent component within the Department
of Justice.
The mission of the PRAO is to ensure prompt, consistent advice to Department
attorneys and Assistant United States Attorneys with respect to professional
responsibility and choice-of-law issues.
Complaints concerning the actions of individual Department attorneys
and Assistant United States Attorneys are not processed and/or handled
by the PRAO but should be referred to the Office of Professional Responsibility
(OPR).
