If there is a pretrial conference set in city magistrate court is that always due to a criminal charge or can it be civil?
There can be pre-trial conferences set for both criminal and civil cases. The difference would be apparent in who it is that is taking part in the conference. If one of the attorneys participating is the DA, or the City Attorney, you can pretty much guess it is going to be a criminal case.
What is the job of the DA?
The DA or "district attorney" is charged with prosecuting criminal cases within his or her district. The DA is different from city attorneys, who are charged with prosecuting criminal cases within the municipality or the city. These types of lawyers do not have prosecutorial powers within the entire district, but only within their city or municipality. In contrast, the DA prosecutes criminal cases in the district which is usually comprised of multiple counties.For example, I reside in the South Central district of my state. We have seven total districts in my state. Because we have so few districts in such a big state, we have numerous district attorneys in service of of the state, and that is usually how it is in most states.
When dealing with a crime who is taking action against the offender?
In criminal cases, the District Attorney's office decides who to prosecute, and then does the prosecution. This is opposed to civil cases, in which a private citizen is suing and hires a private lawyer to represent them.Confusion may result from the term "pressing charges," which is typically attributed to a private citizen that was harmed by a given crime. A private citizen can lodge a formal request/complaint to try someone in criminal court, but the DA's office ultimately decides whether or not to do it, and does not require any victim to press charges to do so.The legal philosophy in the US considers any given crime to be "an attack on all of us" (paraphrasing), and therefore reserves the right to prosecute on behalf of all belonging to the jurisdiction of the crime. This is why cases are titled "[state] vs [defendant]."
If a verdict has been reached and a witness committed perjury and this fact was discovered after the case was finished can the witness be charged and taken to court for perjury?
Perjury is a criminal offense, so only the DA can prosecute someone for perjury. If you have proof of perjury file a complaint with the DA in the county in which the crime of perjury occurred.
Can criminal court decide civil issues?

Is the district attorney a local prosecutor?
Yes, the district attorney (DA) is typically a local prosecutor who represents the government in criminal cases within a specific jurisdiction, such as a county or city. The DA is responsible for deciding whether to file charges, prosecuting cases in court, and overseeing the local prosecutor's office. Their role is to uphold the law and ensure justice is served in their community.
