    Seems like the one thing I would want to do then is see those transcripts. Also the idea that you can just hide those things when they involve law is just outrageous, I would think they could only be sealed for a few years at max then it all needs to be public record.

      You probably wouldn’t want employers being able to search grand jury records if you were ever indicated or if somebody just tried to indict you.

        well if they are searching and there is no conviction then I would assume they wouldnt take those transcripts with any weight, and I would assume they would have the indictment if there was one for it. And if you were indited it would show I would guess on most background checks.

        You are not wrong, if its not a daily barrage like some people have normalized then everyone forgets. Its amazing how many people couldnt tell you issues from last week.

    Hmm… candor toward the tribunal is an essential affirmative duty under MRPC, every state bar’s, rules of professional conduct, the federal rules of professional conduct, as well as the ABA’s rules of professional conduct.

    This dismissal implicates the prosecution‘s representations to the grand jury, which would make the transcripts discoverable during disciplinary hearings.
