Susan Hawk became Dallas County’s new district attorney Thursday morning at a induction ceremony in which she emphasized the importance of doing what’s right, even if it means taking on “the harder job, the uncomfortable job, the complicated job.”
Speaking to several hundred of her new employees, she warned against judging the success of the district attorney’s office by its conviction rate and encouraged prosecutors to take on the “impossible case … as long as it is for what you believe is just and right.”
