Collection search - Prosecution case files [textual record]

The central registry files in this accession consist of prosecution records created and maintained by the Department of Justice. The Criminal prosecutions files are organized alphabetically by the name of the individual or organization charged with a criminal infraction of a federal statute, as well as any subsequent appeals. The files may contain: correspondence, memoranda, legal documents, printed material, transcripts, copies, telegrammes, financial papers, police reports, statements by witnesses, informants' statements, medical and psychological assessments, copies of U.S. government reports and forms, requests for agents, photographs, audio tapes, and background material. The subjects concern breaches of federal statutes and more recent prosecution files deal with appeals launched under the provisions of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
