In a May 22, 2013, letter to Senator Patrick Leahy, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and other congressional leaders, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder disclosed that four U.S. citizens had been killed by U.S. counterterrorism activities outside of zones of active hostility during the years of the Obama administration. (Nearly four hundred drone strikes have reportedly been conducted by U.S. agencies in Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen since 2009.)

In a speech addressed last Mar 2012 at Northwestern University School of Law, US Attorney General Eric Holder discussed principles of international and domestic law bearing on the use of lethal force against suspected terrorists, particularly against US citizens. Holder contended that lethal attacks on US citizens would not violate international law or the US Constitution if the government determined, though thorough and careful review, that the individual posed an imminent threat of violent attack against the US, that his capture is not feasible, and that an attack on him would be conducted in conformity with applicable law of war principles.

In June 2011, Attorney General Eric Holder announced the conclusion of an investigation by Assistant US Attorney John Durham into allegations of mistreatment of detainees by C.I.A. personnel. The investigation focused on whether C.I.A. interrogators used unauthorized techniques and, if so, whether these violated US criminal laws. The attorney general stated that, following examination of possible C.I.A. involvement in interrogations of 101 detainees, a full criminal investigation is being conducted regarding the deaths of two individuals.

Attorney General Eric Holder sought to reduce prison time for non-violent drug offenders. Every day, 91 Americans die from opioid overdose; deaths have almost quadrupled over the past two decades. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have warned that 220 counties in the USA are at risk of similar outbreaks to the one that shook Scott County. Mass drug addiction is no longer confined to urban slums-it has taken hold in rural America. Last year, the federal government amended its ban on financing needle exchange programmes.

The legal profession provides a disproportionate number of leaders in American society, everywhere from law firms and law schools to government, the private sector, and the nonprofit realm. The 2017 Stanford Law Review Symposium, \"Raising the Bar: Lawyers and Leadership,\" explores the role lawyers play as leaders in our society, why so many lawyers fill leadership positions, and how the profession can better prepare its members to lead. The pieces presented in this Issue assess...

The Obama administration has decided not to appeal a court ruling that found the FDA's mandated graphic warnings for cigarette packs unconstitutional. Clearly, efforts to limit commercial speech in the United States face strong constitutional and political constraints. On August 24, 2012, in R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company v. Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that the regulations proposed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mandating the inclusion of graphic warnings on cigarette packs (see photo) violated the First Amendment: they would compel companies to express antitobacco messages on their own dime. Seven months later, on March 14, 2013, the Department of Justice announced that the government would not appeal that decision to the Supreme Court. In explaining the decision not to defend the regulations, which had been developed . . .

[...]what you may not know about Roy is that when I first became a United States Attorney in 1997, Roy Austin was one of two lawyers at the Department of Justice that had been assigned to work on the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing case, and for a couple of years before I kind of took over everything as United States Attorney, Roy provided the background that helped us. December 12 of this year was one of the highlights of my life, but, I'll tell you in all candor, I don't think that it compares to listening to two jury foremen announce guilty verdicts of two former Klansmen for the death of those four young girls.3 It was a remarkable journey from a kid that grew up in Fairfield all the way to the University of Alabama and then working in the Senate and then being able to handle that case, getting the support of the Attorney General of the United States Janet Reno and her top deputy Eric Holder, who worked with me a lot on that case, as well as the Eric Rudolph case. [...]in the aftermath of the bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, Dr. King delivered the eulogy for three of the girls, pointing out that their deaths say to us that we must work passionately and unrelentingly for the realization of the American Dream.4 To me, that line contains an essential core of his legacy, confronting the challenges in the face of seemingly unsurmountable odds, tragedy, and setbacks. In 1976, following law school, he got a job with the Department of Justice, working as part of the Attorney General's Honor's Program. [...]before I turn it over to the Attorney General, I'd like to leave you with one last quote from Dr. King's eulogy to those four girls killed in the church bombing, as we reflect on his life and legacy. The University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law and The National Civil Rights Museum hosted the event in downtown Memphis on April 2, 2018.

The directors of privately held Uber Inc were reviewing the recommendations contained in a report they had commissioned after their company's boys' club culture had become too toxic to ignore. Arianna Huffington, the conservative pundit turned liberal Internet entrepreneur, explained to fellow directors that adding one woman to a corporate board often leads to the addition of more women. David Bonderman, a director representing private equity investor TPG, responded that actually, what it shows is that it's much more likely to be more talking. The board hired former US Attorney General Eric Holder to study the problems and make the recommendations that Bonderman belatedly realized also applied to him.

On Aug 12, 2013, then Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr, gave a speech to the American Bar Association's Annual Convention that outlined the US Department of Justice's (Department) \"Smart on Crime\" initiative. Smart on Crime resulted from a review of the criminal justice system to \"identify reforms that would ensure federal laws are enforced more fairly and--in an era of reduced budgets--more efficiently.\" Here, \"Smart on Crime\" initiative that encourages federal prosecutors to no longer pursue long prison terms is detailed.

A memorandum to the the Department of Justice Attorneys by Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr about guidance regarding §851 enhancements in plea negotiations is presented. Whether a defendant is pleading guilty is not one of the factors enumerated in the charging policy. Prosecutors are encouraged to make the § 851 determination at the time the case is charged, or as soon as possible thereafter. An § 851 enhancement should not be used in plea negotiations. for the sole or predominant purpose of inducing a defendant to plead guilty. This is consistent with long-standing Department policy that \"charges should not be filed simply to exert leverage to induce a plea, nor should charges be abandoned to arrive at a plea bargain that does not reflect the seriousness of the defendant's conduct.\" \"Department Policy on Charging and Sentencing,\" May 19, 2010.
