The Role of the Crown Prosecutor in NSW
Criminal Law.
About the webinar
PRACTICE MANAGEMENT, BUSINESS SKILLS ETHICS AND PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY
CPD Points: 1.5
The principal functions of the NSW Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) are to institute and conduct prosecutions for indictable offences in the Local, District and Supreme Courts; and to conduct appeals in any court arising from those prosecutions, including as the responding party. Those duties are guided by the ODPP Prosecution and other best-practice instruments. The role of a prosecutor is crucial, involving a balancing of the interests of the state, community and victims, as well as a duty to the court. In a system subject to growing case numbers, increasingly regulated pre-trial processes, plea negotiations, and broad discretion, how are those priorities managed? Crown Prosecutor Brett Hatfield will consider those competing priorities and how they are balanced in practice.
Presenter: Mr Brett Hatfield
