The Department of Justice has determined that the direction and guidelines set forth in this document are of such importance that the public ought to be made aware of them. As has been referenced repeatedly in this document, justice is not a "one size fits all" concept. Differing facts and circumstances will require different methods to achieve justice for victims and defendants. While the aforementioned policies and practices are intended to provide general direction and guidance to employees of the Department of Justice regarding the exercise of prosecutorial discretion, nothing in this document is intended to establish a rule of law or procedure enforceable by any third party. Similarly, nothing in this document shall create any enforceable right, entitlement, or privilege to a specific outcome in any criminal or civil matter, nor shall it constitute a waiver of the immunities available to the State or State employees.
