General

According to the Law Governing Organization of Courts, prosecutors’ offices form part of the court at the same level of trial: the Supreme Court has a prosecutors’ office with a number of prosecutors, of whom one is appointed as Prosecutor-General; each of the other High Courts or District Courts have its own prosecutors’ office with a number of prosecutors, of whom one is appointed as the chief prosecutor.[1] The Law Governing Organization of Courts and the Statute Governing Judicial Personnel Administration also state that the qualifications of prosecutors are identical to that of judges. Both of them possess the status of judicial officials. Prosecutors are appointed from those persons who have passed the Examination of Judicial Officials, complete the Training Course for Judicial Officials and possess distinguished records after a term of practice.
