Crown advocate is a title used in Britain and some former British colonies for a government prosecutor.
Level One crown advocates conduct the prosecution of non-jury work, usually in the Magistrates' Court.
As well as all non-jury work, level 2 crown advocates conduct jury trials in the Crown Court, ranging from straightforward, very short trials to those of medium length and complexity towards the top end of level 2.
Principal crown advocates conduct advocacy in the CPS' complex cases across areas and casework divisions and perform at a standard expected of a King's Counsel.
[4] The Crown Advocate is responsible for the conduct of the State’s major civil and commercial litigation, and will act as senior trial counsel in more complex matters.
