Crown Attorney's Office (Ontario)

[1] Each Ontario Superior Court of Justice has its own Crown Attorney's Office, which conducts all criminal trial prosecutions and summary conviction appeals for cases that the province is responsible for in that court's geographical area (see Criminal law in Canada).

The numerous Crown Attorney Offices, along with the Crown Law Office – Criminal and various specialized offices forms the Criminal Law Division of the Attorney General of Ontario, under the immediate supervision of the Division's Assistant Deputy Attorney General of Ontario (ADAG).

[3][4] Most of Ontario's criminal cases are prosecuted by each Office's group of Assistant Crown Attorneys.

Major cases: The Crown Attorney's main office is at McMurtry-Scott Building in Toronto.

In June 2020,[5] the Crown Attorney's Office of Ontario made national news when they petitioned to delay the return to court over fears surrounding the 2020 Coronavirus outbreak.
