WHAT DOES CROWN ATTORNEY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Crown attorney

Crown Attorneys or Crown Counsel are the prosecutors in the legal system of Canada. Crown Attorneys represent the Crown and act as prosecutor in proceedings under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Criminal prosecutions under federal statutes other than the Criminal Code, such as the Controlled Animal and Substances Act, the Income Tax Act, etc., are conducted by Federal Crown Attorneys. There are similarities between this role and the Procurator Fiscal in Scotland, Crown Prosecutor in England and Wales and United States Attorney in the United States. Crown Attorneys are not elected. They are civil servants and can be removed from their position only pursuant to their employment agreements. Although criminal law is under Federal jurisdiction in Canada, the prosecution of most Criminal Code offences—outside of the Yukon Territory, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut—is delegated to the provincial Attorneys General and their lawful deputies. As a result, the vast majority of Crown Attorneys are employed by Canada's ten provinces.
