    Prosecutor's Guide to Case Management
    (Jefferson Institute for Justice Studies, 1998-01) Jacoby, Joan E.; Gilchrist, Peter S. III; Ratledge, Edward C.
    This guide is for prosecutors. In this guide, we assume that every prosecutor faces the common problem of disposing of cases at the earliest possible time, using the fewest resources, and with acceptable results. This is the task of case management. How the prosecutor manages cases is usually decided by his policy towards prosecution, his resources and coordinating procedures with the courts and other agencies, especially the police.

    Prosecutor's Guide to Intake and Screening
    (Jefferson Institute for Justice Studies, 1999-12) Jacoby, Joan E.; Gilchrist, Peter S. III; Ratledge, Edward C.
    This guide is for prosecutors. In this guide, we assume that every prosecutor faces the common problem of "separating wheat from the chaff", i.e. declining poor cases and accepting good ones for prosecution. This is the task of intake and screening. An experienced prosecutor can quickly tell whether most cases will ever be successfully concluded. If deficient cases are quickly removed from the office's inventory, time will not be wasted on them and can be invested in cases that need it. How the prosecutor does this is usually decided by his policy towards prosecution, his resources and his coordination with other agencies, especially the police, and the courts.

    Prosecutor's Guide to Management Information
    (Jefferson Institute for Justice Studies, 1999-01) Jacoby, Joan E.; Gilchrist, Peter S. III; Ratledge, Edward C.
    This guide is for prosecutors. In this guide, we assume that every prosecutor seeks the common goal of managing an office with sufficient resources to provide quality prosecution services consistent with his or her policy. To achieve this goal, prosecutors must have management information to know what is happening in their offices and to make informed decisions. They also have to be able to interpret management information. This guide focuses on the meaning and use of information about case processing and dispositions.

    Prosecutor's Guide to Police-Prosecutor Relations
    (Jefferson Institute for Justice Studies, 1999-07) Jacoby, Joan E.; Gilchrist, Peter S. III; Ratledge, Edward C.
    This guide is for prosecutors. In this guide, we assume that every prosecutor faces the common problem of how to manage an office with a fixed amount of resources in such a way as to provide quality prosecution services consistent with his or her policy. Quality in prosecution is influenced by the quality of policing in your jurisdiction. This guide focuses on the relationship between the police and prosecutor throughout the adjudication process.
