As a Lawyer working for the CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) you will play a vital role in the criminal justice system. Here are some of the ways you would make a positive impact while working for the CPS: Prosecution of criminal cases:
The primary responsibility of a CPS lawyer is to prosecute criminal cases on behalf of the state. They work closely with law enforcement agencies, gather evidence, review case files, and make decisions regarding charging individuals with criminal offenses. By effectively presenting the case in court, they contribute to upholding the rule of law and seeking justice for victims.
Protecting public safety: CPS lawyers play a crucial role in protecting public safety by holding individuals accountable for their actions. They assess the strength of the evidence, advise on the likelihood of conviction, and make informed decisions on whether to proceed with prosecution. By diligently prosecuting cases, they help deter criminal behaviour and maintain law and order in society.
Ensuring fair trials: Lawyers working for the CPS are responsible for ensuring that defendants receive a fair trial. They have an ethical duty to disclose all relevant evidence to the defence, ensuring transparency and fairness. This helps safeguard the rights of the accused, preventing wrongful convictions and preserving the integrity of the criminal justice system.
Supporting victims and witnesses: CPS lawyers work closely with victims and witnesses throughout the legal process. They provide guidance and support, explain legal procedures, and address any concerns or fears they may have. By advocating for victims' rights and ensuring their voices are heard, CPS lawyers help provide a sense of justice and promote trust in the legal system.
Legal expertise and guidance: CPS lawyers possess legal expertise and knowledge of criminal law, procedures, and precedents. They provide legal advice to law enforcement agencies during investigations, helping them gather evidence effectively and lawfully. They also advise colleagues within the CPS on complex legal issues, ensuring consistency and fairness in decision-making.
Collaboration with stakeholders: Lawyers working for the CPS collaborate with various stakeholders in the criminal justice system, including police officers, judges, defence attorneys, and probation officers. They engage in constructive dialogue, exchange information, and contribute to the efficient functioning of the system. By fostering collaboration and coordination, CPS lawyers help streamline processes and enhance the overall effectiveness of the criminal justice system.
