In continuing fallout from the failed prosecution of Sen. Ted Stevens, the U.S. Department of Justice on Friday announced the selection of a new official to coordinate discovery policies and training nationwide.
Andrew Goldsmith will take on the post. He’s a former state and federal prosecutor who’s now supervising environmental prosecutions at the Justice Department. His duties will include creating a handbook on discovery, similar to the Grand Jury Manual; implementing a training curriculum; and reviewing case management software.
