1, the nature of prosecutors and lawyers
A procurator is a person in the people's procuratorate who meets the statutory conditions, is elected or appointed by legal procedures, independently exercises procuratorial power and performs legal supervision duties on behalf of the state according to law.
A lawyer refers to a practitioner who has passed the national judicial examination, obtained a lawyer's practice certificate according to law, accepted the entrustment or designation, and provided legal services to the parties.
2. Prosecutors represent the interests of the state and lawyers represent the interests of defenders.
The duties of the prosecutor:
(1) Conduct legal supervision according to law;
(2) To bring a public prosecution on behalf of the state;
(3) Investigating criminal cases directly accepted by people's procuratorates according to law;
(4) Other duties as prescribed by law.
Lawyers protect personal interests and correspond to prosecutors. Lawyers try their best to reduce or exempt their agents' punishment through reasonable legal provisions.
In this way, for their own work and interests, they are like two tigers in court, desperately fighting back and forth, winning and losing each other. Outside the court, they are not necessarily enemies, at least not in terms of personal interests.
3. In the same criminal case, the prosecutor, as the prosecution, has a series of court activities, first of all, to prove the charges charged by the prosecution, and second, to put forward suggestions to the court to punish the defendant lightly, lightly and severely according to the specific case.
The public prosecutor may agree with some opinions of lawyers when suggesting a lighter or mitigated punishment for the defendant.
Extended data:
The difference between a prosecutor and a lawyer:
Prosecutors exercise their rights on behalf of the state, act as prosecutors in criminal cases and prosecute criminal suspects on behalf of the state and society. They belong to the national judicial personnel and are civil servants.
Lawyers are freelancers, entrusted by the parties, and participate in various lawsuits as agents. Lawyers are not public officials, generally have no public power, and only use their legal knowledge to provide legal services to clients.
