Criminal Law Jobs A Criminal Attorney is a person who represents clients prosecuted by the state or federal government for a criminal act. Most crimes are made up of three elements: An act (actus reus), a mental state (mens rea) and the intention of doing social harm. The criminal cases are generally initiated by Government unlike the civil cases, in which private parties initiate the cases. Duties of the attorney include charging crimes, levying charges, prosecuting charges including all aspects of litigation. In different state courts, prosecutors are known by different names such as, County Attorney, Prosecuting Attorney, County Prosecutor, State\'s Attorney, City Prosecutor, City Attorney, and many more.
Criminal Attorney holds a law degree and is also registered with the Bar. The responsibility of the prosecutor is to prove to the judge or jury \"beyond a reasonable doubt\" that the defendant is guilty of the crime charged. Less serious offenses known as misdemeanors are normally punishable by a fine like some traffic violations, petty theft, or possession of a small amount of marijuana, and felonies and serious offenses warrant imprisonment of one or more years, such as rape, grand theft, assault and battery, assault with a deadly weapon, or homicide/murder.
