District Attorney?

The District Attorney of a certain area is either an appointed or an elected government official that is responsible for representing the government in a criminal case. The prosecution of individuals in criminal cases often depends on the DA, or District Attorney. In fact, the District Attorney is the government official of a particular county, city or state that decides if prosecution of a case should even be started. The DA is the chief official in the legal department of the jurisdiction. There are many staff members who work for the District Attorney. The District Attorney along with their staff are responsible for investigating criminal charges, getting all of the evidence in a case together and analyzing it, as well as overlooking the prosecution of a particular criminal case as it goes to trial. Furthermore, if a trial goes to the Grand Jury, the District Attorney is the one who is responsible for forwarding all of the information and presenting it to the Judge. A District Attorney must attend the trials of their county or state and examine the defendant. They will also be responsible for swearing in and examining other witnesses as well. The District Attorney also has the right to order a court subpoena in order to call in more witnesses who may have relevant information to the case. Additionally, the District Attorney will recommend a punishment for the criminal who is being charged. Finally, the District Attorney is responsible for legal documentation of the prosecution as well. They must maintain proper logs of all the information on the trials they attend, as well as check the material for errors. A District Attorney can either work for their state or federal courts. Every state has its own District Attorney, while the federal District Attorney’s office is separate. A state District Attorney is usually elected by the people in the area the official will serve. A federal District Attorney is government official who is a deputy of the Attorney General. In fact, a federal DA must report all of their actions to the office of the Attorney General. In addition, in order to become a federal District Attorney, one must be appointed by the President of the United States. A District Attorney may also work with many other public officials such as the Chief of Police, Lawyers for the Defendant, Judges, and the Jury. The District Attorney plays a very important role in the prosecution of all criminal cases for their area. They must argue their cases in order to stand up for the rest of the community against a criminal. What happens in a criminal case is almost always due to the actions of the area DA. The District Attorney has the general public’s best interest in mind.


What is the difference between an advocate and an attorney?

An attorney is a lawyer, but a lawyer may not necessarily be an attorney. On television, in advertisements, and from our friends, we often hear reference to "lawyers" and "attorneys." Despite the ease of categorizing these two words as synonyms, they do in fact mean different things. The difference is only slight, but it matters a great deal to state bar associations, particularly in the investigation and prosecution of unauthorized practice of lawcases. However, practically speaking, the terms have become interchangeable in the United States.
