The Federal Criminal Procedure Committee of the American College of Trial Lawyers offers this guide for state and federal prosecutors to help them comply with their Brady and Giglio obligations (“Brady/Giglio”) to ensure a fair trial and to help them avoid uncomfortable and unnecessary problems and accusations. This guide is the joint product of experienced prosecutors, former prosecutors, and defense attorneys who serve on the committee, with input from state prosecutors who are College members. It is intended to be used by prosecutors to assist them in identifying and adopting best practices to guard against Brady/Giglio violations.
