Who prepares trial dockets and prosecutes all criminal actions and infractions in superior and district courts within their prosecutorial district?

• A. Clerk of Superior Court
• B. Court Reporter
• C. District Attorney
• D. Bailiff

Answer: (C)

The district attorney handles prosecutions and manages the criminal calendar for their prosecutorial district. The DA’s office reviews police reports, decides which cases to charge, and prosecutes all criminal actions and infractions in the superior and district courts within that district. They also oversee case preparation and trial scheduling, often coordinating with judges, law enforcement, and defense counsel. Other court roles are not responsible for prosecution: the clerk of court maintains records and administrative functions, the court reporter records proceedings, and the bailiff handles courtroom security.
