Overview
A district attorney (DA) is a public official responsible for prosecuting criminal cases on behalf of the government within a specific district or jurisdiction. They represent the state in legal proceedings, deciding whether to bring criminal charges, leading investigations, and handling court trials. DAs work closely with law enforcement to ensure evidence is properly presented in court and play a key role in determining the severity of charges and plea deals. They are typically elected officials, holding significant influence over criminal justice processes in their jurisdiction.
