As described in greater detail in other sections of this Title of the United States Attorney’s Manual, the Civil Rights Division will work cooperatively with United States Attorney’s Offices to determine the most appropriate assignment of responsibilities for the preparation of pleadings and other legal documents in connection with the litigation and trial of civil rights cases. Unless specifically delegated, ultimate responsibility for the conduct and resolution of civil rights cases remains with the Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division.
