 DOJ Zona Rosa Response
DOJ recognized that El Salvador's constitution prohibits the extradition of Salvadoran nationals and that El Salvador was unlikely to violate its own constitution and release Salvadoran citizens to the United States for prosecution.
DOJ agreed, however, to pursue a potential indictment as a back-up to the Salvadoran prosecutions of the suspects.
DOJ energetically pursued the prosecution of Rivas at the request of DOS, despite the fact that the United States indictment was sought only as a back-up to the Salvadoran prosecution and uncertainty that the United States would ever gain custody of any Salvadoran defendants.

 Gender Law and Policy: DOJ story
Feldblum, who praised the DOJ for adopting the policy, said it could have the effect of providing more protection for the segment of the Gay community that most often faces discrimination-women who are perceived to be masculine and men who are perceived to be effeminate.
Dorhn said the DOJ is also expected to use provisions in the U.S. Constitution which the Supreme Court has held to ban local, state, and federal government entities from engaging in discrimination based on the same categories as Titles VII and IX.
She said the DOJ is expected to buttress its linkage of sexual orientation discrimination and sex discrimination by invoking the 1997 Supreme Court decision in Oncale v.

 VOR Comments to DOJ Final Report
VOR agrees that DOJ involvement, with family support, was needed when it filed the 1991 lawsuit to address the deficiencies at Forest Haven.
Following the closure they helped realize, DOJ paid no attention to how former Forest Haven residents were doing in their new homes until a decade later when widespread abuse, neglect and death was reported by The Washington Post in two award-winning investigative series (http://www.washingtonpost.com/invisible).
DOJ outreach efforts to families must be unbiased and balanced.

 Story: DOJ and Media Oppose Microsoft Motion for Stay, 8/17/98.
The DOJ is scheduled to take the oral testimony of 17 Microsoft employees to discovery relevant evidence, and to preserve testimony for presentation at the trial.
The DOJ changed its position, and argued that the media motion should be granted access to the depositions.

 DOJ, CIA call for Plame investigation, investigation starts - dKosopedia
The CIA files a "crime report" with the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), suggesting the leak of Wilson's wife's name and covert status might entail criminal acts (Wilson 359).

 United States Department of Justice - dKosopedia
The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) is a Cabinet department in the United States Government designed to enforce the law and defend the interests of the United States according to the law and to ensure fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans.
It is not even known exactly when the original version of the DOJ seal itself was adopted, or when the motto first appeared on the seal.
The most authoritative opinion of the DOJ suggests that the motto refers to the Attorney General (and thus to the Department of Justice) "who prosecutes on behalf of justice (or the Lady Justice)".

 Analysis of DOJ - Cincinnati Agreement
On the surface, the DOJ - Cincinnati agreement is largely a laundry list of things the police did during the race riots of 2001, or which they did during the deaths of the 15 fl men killed since 1995.
DOJ estimates that it will cost Cincinnati something like $1.5 million per year to abide by this "voluntary" agreement, in addition to an initial outlay of $3 million to $ 7 million dollars by Cincinnati.
DOJ specifies that enormous amounts of data are to be collected to allow tracking of "trends" in police encounters with Cincinnati’s citizens.

DOJ officials couldn’t keep from laughing when they showed Judge Emmet Sullivan a clip from “The Daily Show,” a popular satire program, in which comedian Jon Stewart poked fun at a top counterterrorism official’s taped deposition statement that he didn’t know the difference between Shiite and Sunni Muslims.
But it’s precisely that chuckling, and the potential abuse of the discovery process, that DOJ lawyer Lisa Olson said at a Sept. 8 hearing at the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia she is afraid may happen if an unrelated deposition of former Associate Attorney General Robert McCallum is released.

 ITworld.com - MS/DOJ settlement process passes legal muster
Microsoft and the DOJ in November agreed to a settlement that was backed by nine of the states that were also plaintiffs in the case.
Under the provisions, the DOJ was, for one, required to gather comments from the public about the proposed settlement for a period of 60 days and publish those comments in the Federal Register.
The DOJ denied the existence of any such documents, and the judge Tuesday said she did not contest that claim.

 ITworld.com - Reports: Microsoft, DOJ near a settlement
Microsoft Corp. has reached a tentative settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in the landmark antitrust battle, and the two sides might announce a plan that could bring the long-fought lawsuit to a conclusion this week, according to published reports.
But the likelihood of the states going along with any tentative deal between Microsoft and the DOJ is questionable, observers say.
The attorneys general from New York and California took the tough stance after the DOJ announced in September that it would not pursue a breakup of Microsoft, a remedy it had previously pressed in court.

 PC World - Microsoft, DOJ Prepare to Settle
With periodic questions from the judge, the DOJ and Microsoft took turns Wednesday morning presenting their cases for why the proposed settlement is in the public interest.
"The DOJ and the states have negotiated an excellent decree that is in the public interest and furthers the policies of antitrust law," said Phil Beck, an attorney with the Justice Department.
Had the DOJ pursued remedies, as the nine states (and the District of Columbia) that did not settle with Microsoft are doing, it might well have been unable to prove that Microsoft violated antitrust law beyond the findings of the court of appeals.

 t r u t h o u t - EDITORIAL - Is DOJ Saying That Gore Won Florida?
A St. Petersburg Times editorial claims that the DOJ's intention is "to get voluntary admissions of wrongdoing from the counties and a plan to fix the problems before it files the lawsuits." Fixing the problems, the writer claims, is what counts.
The trouble with both the NAACP suit settlements and the DOJ proposed suits is that they do not address the results of the election itself.
The NAACP lawsuit may bring greater equity to minority voters, but Bush's DOJ is riding on the NAACP's coattails and using the voters disenfranchised by the Bush Supreme Court to claim DOJ rectitude and success on an issue it has ignored for a year and a half.

 BeldarBlog: Fitzgerald's assurances and the DoJ guidelines
I'm not suggesting that the DoJ guidelines are every bit as comforting, from the standpoint of the reporter witness, as a formal privilege created by a shield statute or its common-law equivalent would be.
The sanction for violation of the DoJ guidelines is the prospect of the federal prosecutor facing internal discipline (or simple loss of face) within the DoJ — not the exclusion of the testimony obtained in violation of the guidelines.
Fitzgerald was going to engage in a bit of deliberate career-ending trampling of the DoJ regulations (by chasing down rabbit trails with a press witness as to which he hadn't yet demonstrated a compelling need and thoroughly exhausted other avenues of inquiry), then Ms.

 Statement of Commissioner Mozelle W. Thompson - FTC/DOJ Clearance Agreement
A closer examination of what DOJ's statistical analysis actually shows: the FTC is more effective in bringing enforcement actions in the media and entertainment sectors, and that the bulk of DOJ's expertise and enforcement actions are in relatively narrow slices of the overall media and entertainment sectors.
Unlike the DOJ, Congress gave the FTC authority to use compulsory process to evaluate public policy issues, conduct industry studies, and perform retrospectives on past enforcement actions.
DOJ's expertise in the telecommunications industry of course does not create expertise for media and entertainment sector because DOJ's telecommunications experience lies primarily in telephone and radio related areas.

 DOJ Knew Of AOL-Netscape Discussions - Technology News by TechWeb
According to Schuler, George Vradenburg, AOL's senior vice president of global and strategic policy, as well as the company's general counsel, told David Boies, the DOJ's lead attorney in the trial, that a deal was in the works between AOL and Netscape.
Schuler said that prior to Colburn's deposition on Oct. 3, 1998, "the DOJ was given a 'heads-up' of very preliminary issues about a relationship of a sensitive nature." However, Schuler said that Boies was given no characterization of what the specific business discussions were, "just preliminary conversations about a commercial relationship."
Despite issues of timing of who knew what when, the DOJ official, who asked not to be identified, said "the first issue is what this has to do with the case?" The issue in the lawsuit, the DOJ official said, "is whether or not Microsoft broke the law."

 DOJ sets conditions for Verizon, SBC acquisitions - Network World
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has approved two major telecommunications mergers, with Verizon buying MCI and SBC buying ATandT, but will require the two merged telecom giants to divest some fiber-optic network facilities, the DOJ said Thursday.
The DOJ's investigation found that the acquisitions are "likely to generate substantial efficiencies that should benefit consumers," the agency said in a press release.
The DOJ on Thursday filed civil lawsuits in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to block the acquisitions.

The DOJ investigation will not likely result in a specific action against Microsoft (unless a serious "smoking gun" is found in the investigation).

 US Department of Justice Sues Big Tobacco for $280 Billon
Unlike the state lawsuits that led to the Master Settlement Agreement and other settlements in 1998 between the tobacco industry and the states, the DOJ lawsuit is not about reimbursing the government for medical expenditures for sick smokers.
Instead, DOJ is suing for an alleged decades-long conspiracy to deceive the public about the dangers of smoking and the addictive nature of nicotine.
The case has survived numerous motions to dismiss by big tobacco, and is set to go to trial on September 21, in spite of further motions to delay.
