Duties of a Prosecutor

An accomplished legal expert with vast experience, Craig Kowalski currently works as an attorney at Nuttall, MacAvoy & Joyce, P.C., in Marshfield, Massachusetts, where he offers legal counsel to public schools on a wide range of issues. Previously, Craig Kowalski worked as an assistant district attorney with the Norfolk County District Attorney’s office in Canton, Massachusetts, where he trained, supervised, and assisted more than 60 prosecutors with investigations and prosecutions in various cases.

A prosecutor plays a vital role in the administration of justice. Their primary duty is to ensure they seek justice within the boundaries of the law and not only focus on convictions. At all times, prosecutors should serve the public interest and act with balanced judgment and integrity to pursue appropriate criminal charges, protect the innocent, and convict the guilty while respecting the constitutional and legal rights of all persons. A prosecutor should not only be a case processor, but also a problem solver that takes into account the broader goals of the criminal justice system. Given the nature of their role, prosecutors should participate in community service, including active involvement in public service, bar activities, and public education. Prosecutors are also expected to constantly find ways to reform and improve the administration of the criminal justice system.
