CRIMINAL PROSECUTORS
Prosecutors in the criminal division have different roles in the case process, like being part of the screening team, magistrate team or domestic violence unit. No matter what part a prosecutor plays in the judicial process, an Ada County prosecutor’s main focus is on protecting the victim and society as a whole. Prosecutors dedicate hours reviewing evidence in every case and each offender’s criminal history to determine the most just sentencing recommendation that will protect society and deter the offender and public.
CIVIL PROSECUTORS
Civil attorneys represent Ada County in legal affairs, whether it’s performing transaction work or representing a county government agency in court. Civil attorneys draft advice and legal opinions to the county’s various agencies when a legal question arises and negotiate and prepare contracts, ordinances and resolutions within the county.
