The Good Prosecutor

“a sensitiveness to fair play and sportsmanship is perhaps the best protection against the abuse of power, and the citizen’s safety lies in the prosecutor who tempers zeal with human kindness, who seeks truth and not victims, who serves the law and not factional purposes, and who approaches his task with humility.”

That quote is from my Criminal Procedure casebook, describing what it takes to be a good prosecutor. Does that describe me? I hope so, and if it doesn't, I hope it will.
