}}Prosecutor is a key role within Security tasked with managing sentencing, prosecuting criminals, and keeping security in line with the law. Because of this, keen knowledge of [[Standard Operating Procedure]] and [[Space Law]] is required. A good prosecutor can uplift security, but a bad one can cripple it.

The Prosecutor answers to the [[Chief Justice]], but it is good to work with the [[Head of Security]] when it does not conflict with the law. You walk a thin line between assisting security and keeping them in check, but the law is your guide above all else.

== Day-to-day Responsibilities ==
You'll usually begin your shift in your office. The first thing you want to do is introduce yourself to the department to make your presence known. You have the ability to overrule and take control of any sentencing in security, but only if you decide to intervene. Because of this, it's essential you make it clear to Security what cases you want them to inform you of, and lay down some ground rules on law.

Next, you'll usually make your way to brig or security where you will spend most of your time. Whenever detainees come in, you will be overseeing their sentencing and treatment to make sure it is reasonable and fair. '''This does not require you to agree with security in all circumstances.''' Whatever sentence is given to detainees by you or security, it is your responsibility to defend it in court. If that means you must lower the sentence, then it is in your best interest to do so.

Sitting in brig can be boring if the station is particularly well-behaved. Feel free to roam around with security and observe their adherence to procedure. It's not too uncommon for sec to trespass or make a fool of themselves, and while you shouldn't intervene with law enforcement or arrests, the officers will appreciate some company from time to time.

== Court of Law ==
When you've finally convicted someone of a capital crime, it is your ''utmost priority'' to process them as soon as possible. This means you must compile evidence, decide on a charge, and get a judge to your case. To avoid being overwhelmed, it's good to focus on these steps:

# Speak with the arresting officer about what happened and decide on a charge
# Organize any evidence in a locker or bag
# Make a list of witnesses if any
# Ask the Chief Justice or Clerk to judge the trial. If neither are present, speak with command so they can decide on a judge
# Show up to court and present your charges

Make sure you study up on [[Standard Operating Procedure#Trial Procedure|Trial Procedure]] so you can present your arguments as efficiently as possible. Time is of the essence, and you could have more criminals coming in before you know it. Avoid long documents and over-preparing that could add more time to the poor soul waiting for trial.

Mechanically, Attorney is simply a roleplaying job with few responsibilities.

You are a bigshot, or up and coming, attorney of whatever legal firm you originate from. Your job is to scour for clients, sue on their behalf, defend them zealously in cases, and discuss (with a firm tone of voice) with the prosecutor until they reduce their sentence. You are essentially your own, small legal business, and it is up to you to find people to defend ''or'' sue.

You do not necessarily need to defend each and every person on the station. You can sue them for causing you or another person damage, and get compensation in court. You can sue for emotional, physical, or monetary damages. You can sue the clown for slipping you because it hurt your knee, hurt your feelings, or hurt your wallet. It is entirely up to you to twist your words to convince the judge of your argument.

Still, if clients aren't rolling in, you can always follow each and every detainee that security finds. Just be sure not to annoy them ''too much.''
