It depends where the material will be used. If used in the USA, then the following are the appropriate terms:
In the United States, the director of any such offices may be known by any of several names depending on the legal jurisdiction.
The terms County Attorney, Prosecuting Attorney (in Michigan, Indiana, and West Virginia), County Prosecutor, State Attorney, State's Attorney, State Prosecutor, Commonwealth's Attorney (in Virginia and Kentucky), District Attorney (in some states), District Attorney General (in Tennessee), Prosecuting Attorney (in Missouri counties), Attorneys General (in Rhode Island and Delaware), and City Attorney (in Missouri cities that have city prosecutors) are all titles of prosecutors in various state courts. State prosecutor may be either appointed or elected. United States Attorneys represent the federal government in federal court, in both civil and criminal cases.
If the state in the US is not specified, then I would use "District Attorney." |
