Offices that bring criminal charges and conduct prosecutions, not courts themselves but institutions this atlas's court type also tracks because of how closely their function sits beside the judicial process. Belongs here: Crown Prosecution Service, King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office, Manhattan District Attorney (New York County District Attorney) and United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Does not belong here: a body that adjudicates rather than prosecutes, which belongs in one of the other five court subcategories instead. This group is a modeling note as much as a classification: no standard court taxonomy places prosecutorial offices alongside courts, and a future structure pass may find they belong under a distinct entity type rather than under court.
