French term

Procureur de la Republique

French to English Law/Patents police
Faute par vous de deferer a cette lettre convocation sans empechement legitime, avis sera donné au Procureur de la Republique qui pourra vous contraindre a comparaitre par la force publique.

The dictionary gives Attorney General, but that sounds awfully country-specific. Could it be Public Prosecutor?

Procureur de la République

Should be left as is.

In the States this would be the DA (district attorney)but the French term is very specific and has no "official" translation - for certified translations, I always leave the French title.

Procureur/Prosecutor: En droit français le ministère public, appelé aussi parquet en France, apparaît vers le XIVe siècle alors que s\'épanouit la procédure inquisitoire. Il est chargé de la poursuite qu\'il intente au nom de la société et apparaît donc comme le défenseur de l\'intérêt général. [...]

Il existe un parquet auprès de chaque juridiction [...] Les deux parquetiers les plus importants en procédure pénale sont le PROCUREUR DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE, entouré de substituts, auprès de chaque tribunal de grande instance, et le PROCUREUR GÉNÉRAL (or public prosecutor if you like), entouré d\'avocats et substituts généraux, auprès de chaque cour d\'appel.

Therefore...\"public prosecutor\" is not the \"Procureur de la République\"
