PSEU attorneys evaluate requests for the use of investigative and prosecutorial tools outlined above and make recommendations. In analyzing requests, PSEU attorneys apply the applicable policy and relevant law to the facts of the pending federal investigation or case. As a result, PSEU attorneys are in frequent contact with federal prosecutors and other DOJ attorneys in order to fully understand the facts, strategy, and posture of investigations and cases. For each request, PSEU attorneys evaluate the facts and applicable law, prepare a memorandum that provides an analysis of the legal authority and DOJ policy as applied to the facts, and a recommendation as to whether the request meets applicable policy requirements and should be approved. PSEU attorneys also answer questions from federal prosecutors and DOJ attorneys requesting advice on the use of investigative and prosecutorial tools within its portfolio. Interacting with prosecutors and other DOJ attorneys to assist them in advancing their investigations and cases is one of the most rewarding aspects of a PSEU attorney.

PSEU attorneys use their knowledge of criminal procedure, grand jury practice, use of cooperating defendants, litigation strategies, etc. in conducting their work because the requests submitted to PSEU arise in connection with ongoing investigations or litigation. PSEU attorneys use interpersonal, writing, and research skills, as well as oral communication skills, to handle requests and questions within PSEU's areas of substantive responsibility and effectively interact with prosecutors, other DOJ attorneys, colleagues, and supervisors. PSEU attorneys report to the Deputy Chiefs and Chief of PSEU, as well as the Deputy Director and Director of OEO. Typically, PSEU attorneys work independently and completed work is reviewed principally for consistency with applicable legal authority, policies, and for overall effectiveness and quality.
