Best Answer

A city prosecutor is a lawyer, employed by a city or municipality, whose job it is to represent the interests of the city or municipality in criminal matters (or non-criminal infractions) involving the enforcement of laws or regulations enacted by the city or municipality. By and large, these are less complex, or at least less serious violations than those handled by state prosecutors, and therefore, pay is often less at the municipal than the state level.

In contrast, a state prosecutor, depending upon his/her seniority and experience, handles a range of criminal prosecutions including non-criminal infractions, to misdemeanors and felonies.

The actual pay is determined by the government entity for which you seek to work, and will vary, within ranges, both by state and by municipality/city, and by your experience as a lawyer. The bar association of your state will likely conduct periodic surveys of pay scales, so you are advised to contact it as a starting point.

Can prosecutors lie?

Prosecutors lie all the time to get convictions, much like law enforcement officers. However, it is ethically imperative that they state only truth. The problem becomes proving a lie spoken by a prosecutor, and successfully seeking justice against those who do lie.


How are public defenders paid?

Public defender salaries vary depending on a couple factors: First, the federal system generally pays much more than state systems do. Federal public defenders are usually paid at the same rate as federal prosecutors. At the state levels, salaries vary by experience, by location, and in some states, even county by county. They are often comparable to prosecutors, with starting salaries from the high 30Ks to low 50Ks. More experienced public defenders often make much more.
