What is the role of the adversarial system in criminal and civil trails?
The short answer is yes, although in Criminal cases it is a little bit different. The difference is that in the criminal case the State is represented by the prosecutor who has a duty not specifically to win the case but rather to seek justice. This would mean that the prosecutor has an obligation to represent the interests of the defendant as well and if the prosecutor knows or has reason to believe the defendant is in fact not guilty the prosecutor must consider that issue in pursuing the case. For how criminal and civil matters proceed, see the related links below.
Do prosecutors have to take an oath?
Yes, there is an oath of office that goes with becoming a prosecutor. Though it no doubt varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, it basically requires the prosecutor to faithfully execute his duties and to uphold the constitution of the state where he works and the Constitution of the United State of America. The obligation to do and seek justice is frequently included and that gives the prosecutor the duty to represent the interests of all the people, which includes those accused of crimes as well as the victims. It is different from any other job of a lawyer, in that a prosecutor's duty is to justice as opposed to being focused on zealously advocating for a particular client.
