Criminal Law
Overview
Criminal law addresses the government's prosecution of individuals who have committed an act classified as a crime. Federal, state, and local governments codify crimes and prosecute criminals. A prosecuting attorney represents the people of a particular jurisdiction, and acts on behalf of the government by bringing a case against an accused.
