Public Prosecutor careers

A Public Prosecutor represents the state in criminal proceedings. You might work in local, state, or federal courts. Public Prosecutors focus on presenting evidence, examining witnesses, and making legal arguments to prove the guilt of the accused. You’ll prepare legal documents, review case files, and collaborate with law enforcement to build strong cases.

Public Prosecutors play a critical role in the justice system. You’ll need to be detail-oriented and assertive and be able to communicate effectively with diverse stakeholders. You’ll liaise with victims, witnesses, and defence lawyers to ensure a fair trial process and uphold the law impartially.
