21st Century Department of Justice Appropriations Authorization Act - Authorize appropriations for FY 2002 to carry out the activities of the Department of Justice (DOJ). Authorizes the Attorney General to appoint 200 additional assistant U.S. attorneys. Authorizes DOJ activities to be carried out through any means in the reasonable discretion of the Attorney General, including by sending or receiving details of personnel to other branches of the Government and through contracts, grants, or cooperative agreements with non-Federal parties. Lists permitted uses of funds. Requires the Attorney General to submit to Congress a report of any instance in which the Attorney General or any DOJ officer: (1) establishes or implements a policy to refrain from enforcing any Federal statute on the grounds that such statute is unconstitutional or from adhering to or enforcing a standing rule of decision established by a final decision of a court of that jurisdiction; (2) determines to contest the constitutionality of a Federal statute, regulation, or policy or to refrain from defending its constitutionality; and (3) approves the settlement or compromise of certain claims or actions against or by the United States. Applies such reporting requirement to the President and the head of each executive agency or military department.
