Attorney General's Guidelines

One of the roles of the Attorney General is to offer guidance on various aspects of the law touching on prosecutions. The guidance is not binding and does not have the effect of law but is nevertheless expected to be followed by prosecutors. Recent examples of guidance are on the disclosure of material, plea bargains and on the acceptance of pleas.
