The Attorney General of the United States, Merrick Garland, recently addressed the 85th Annual U.S. Attorneys Conference, expressing gratitude to the over 115,000 public servants of the Department of Justice for their dedication and service to the American people. He commended their efforts in seeking justice for victims, combating hate crimes, protecting communities from various threats, and upholding democratic values.
Garland highlighted the historical significance of the Justice Department's commitment to fairness and impartiality, citing the principles outlined by former Attorney General Robert Jackson in 1939. These principles emphasize the importance of prosecutors exercising their authority with humility, seeking truth, and serving the law rather than partisan interests.
