Federal Prosecutorial Accountability Act

This legislative proposal seeks to enhance accountability for attorneys representing the federal government by establishing a temporary prohibition on their ability to practice if they incur judicial sanctions. It mandates that any attorney for the Government who receives sanctions under Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure will be barred from representing the Government in court and making filings for a period of one year. The bill amends section 530B(b) of title 28, United States Code, to incorporate this new requirement. The responsibility for carrying out these new rules and ensuring compliance would fall to the Office of Professional Responsibility of the Department of Justice .
