Prosecutors in the United States play multifaceted roles in their criminal justice system. They provide guidance during the investigative stages of cases, lead the prosecution of cases in the country’s adversarial proceedings, police their own profession, and lead legislative efforts aimed at making the system more just for all involved. There are separate prosecuting offices for the separate sovereignties located within the countries. Statutes, constitutions, and case law establish the rights and duties of those separate offices. All prosecuting offices in the United States share the pursuit of justice as their common goal.
