Prosecutors play a unique role in the criminal justice system; they are required to zealously represent their client—the state—while also seeking justice for crime victims and ensuring that victims’ rights are afforded. In this complex role, there are times when prosecutors face the situation where the state’s interests and victim’s interests diverge. This potential conflict, combined with the responsibilities prosecutors owe the state and crime victims, can raise some interesting ethical questions. This program discusses various ethical issues that prosecutors may encounter when dealing with crime victims who are unrepresented by counsel as well as victims who are represented by counsel.
