The California Prosecutor - Integrity, Independence, Leadership
Over the last few years, there seems to have been a concerted effort to discredit the prosecutorial profession. A few news organizations, including the Chicago Tribune and USA Today, have issued results of unscientific surveys that attempt to demonstrate that prosecutorial misconduct is a significant issue in the federal courts as well as in some state courts. None of these surveys has been able to uncover any but the rarest instances of intentional misconduct by prosecutors, state or federal.
Most of these reports succumb to their own inaccuracies and die a natural death. One recent report, however, has managed to gain some public traction. The Northern California Innocence Project\u27s Veritas Initiative conducted and published a study referred to generally as the NCIP Report. This initial lengthy document, Preventable Error: A Report on Prosecutorial Misconduct in California, 1997-2009, was followed up by an addendum of the same data: the First Annual Report: Preventable Errors- Prosecutorial Misconduct in California 2010.
Upon analysis, the NCIP Report, like many of its ilk, is not a study in the scientific tradition. Rather, it is an unscientific survey of published cases and media stories conducted by law school students. Riddled with inaccuracies, misleading information, and unprofessional analyses, it makes recommendations for reform based upon questionable data. Not only does this report ignore the historical context of time-tested principles and how they apply to the modern judicial and prosecution function, it is singularly lacking in any understanding of how a District Attorney\u27s Office actually operates and the training provided to deputy district attorneys. Lastly, it fails to anticipate the consequences to the justice system were its recommendations adopted

Letter from Fred Traynor to Representative Usher Burdick Regarding Indian Legislation, February 6, 1939
This letter, dated February 6, 1939, from Fred Traynor of Traynor & Traynor Attorneys and Counselors to United States (US) Representative Usher Burdick concerns Indian Legislation. In it, Traynor states that a group of indigenous people want Ignatius to go to Washington to look after legislation. Traynor then asks if Burdick if Ignatius would be of any assistance in the matter, noting that Ignatius was a leading indigenous person involved with HR 791 and Major McLaughlin and at age 71 is the only surviving indigenous person from those negotiations which may make his testimony useful.https://commons.und.edu/burdick-papers/1121/thumbnail.jp
