The Professional Segment Clause Samples

The Professional Segment. For the first few months of the OCC’s existence, ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Deputy to the Chief Counsel, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇., was in charge of the professional segment. In 1944, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ had written the famous “Report to the Secretary on the Acquiescence of This Government in the Murder of the Jews,” which led ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇., the Secretary of the Treasury, to establish the War Refugee Board. He joined the OCC as Deputy to Chief Counsel in January 19479 and briefly functioned, in ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ absence, as Acting Chief of Counsel in April 1948.10 In early 1947, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ eliminated the Deputy to the Chief Counsel position11 and assigned ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to be Deputy Chief Counsel – the title given to the individual in charge of a particular trial – in Farben (Case No. 6),12 an experience that would ultimately lead ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to write The Devil’s Chemists, the seminal account of that trial. From that point on, the heads of the various divisions and trial teams in the professional segment reported directly to ▇▇▇▇▇▇, although a new position, “Executive Counsel,” was created to coordinate their work and to oversee the assignment of personnel to them.13 Four different individuals served as Executive Counsel during the life of the OCC, the most notable of whom was ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ was one of the youngest members of OCC; he was only 23 when he served as the Chief Prosecutor in Einsatzgruppen (Case No. 9).14 The professional segment of the OCC initially consisted of seven different groups. Four were legal divisions: the Military Division, the Ministries Division, the SS Division, and the Economics Division. Their mission was “to secure, analyze, and prepare evidence to be used in the prosecution of major war criminals in certain related fields, usually constituting more than one case.”15 Two were trial teams, one responsible for preparing Farben, the other responsible for preparing Flick.
