ASSISTANT PROSECUTORS

Clerical work is important -
it's not why you became a prosecutor.

Choose a file

Click a kind of file. The agents pull the facts out and cite each one back to the record, before you open the case.

Body-worn and dash camera

A long recording stops being something you watch from the beginning.

Pulled from the file

What was said is transcribed. What is visible is transcribed separately. Moments are marked across seventy-five categories, including a weapon, a use of force, flight, and a statement, so you open the recording at the minute the case turns on. Each mark cites that moment.

Filed on the case

  • Witness list. People on camera, and people who speak, are named on the case with what they said.
  • Timeline. The stop, the search, and the arrest take their place beside the documents.
  • Follow-up tasks. Work the recording creates is assigned to the person who has it.

Recorded statements

An interview is a transcript with a speaker, not an afternoon of playback.

Pulled from the file

Interviews and other recordings are transcribed with who was speaking and when. You can ask the recording in plain language. The answer cites the moment.

Filed on the case

  • Witness list. Each speaker is a person on the case, with the statement attached.
  • Conflicts. A line is checked against the rest of the file, and you are shown where to look. The system does not pick a theory.
  • Timeline. The statement is placed on the day it belongs to.

Reports and charging packets

The narrative is read so you are not the one copying names into a chart.

Pulled from the file

Complaints, narratives, and the papers that arrive with the arrest are read for the defendant, the offense, the date, and the people named in them.

Filed on the case

  • Charge data. Who is charged, with what, and when.
  • Witness list. Names in the narrative become people on the case, including which counsel represents whom when the file says so. Each name cites the page it came from.
  • Calendar. Deadlines in the packet become work on the case, assigned to a person.

Photographs and lab reports

A picture and a written result join the same record as the camera and the complaint.

Pulled from the file

A photograph is described. A written report is read for names, dates, and results. Both stay attached to the case they came in on.

Filed on the case

  • Evidence on the case. The image or the report sits with the charge and the person it concerns.
  • Witness list. The person who collected it, or the person it identifies, is on the list.
  • Timeline. Collection and result take their place in the chronology.

The whole case

Separate uploads become one record. You open the case with the clerical pass already done.

Pulled from the file

Each file is read on its own. The facts are then brought onto the same case: people, charges, dates, statements, and what the office still has to do. Every fact cites the page, the quote, or the moment it came from.

Filed on the case

  • Witness list. One list, from every file, instead of a stack of handwritten pages.
  • Charge data and timeline. Who is charged, and the chronology from the documents, the statements, and the recordings.
  • Legal issues and drafts. Issues are flagged with a place to look. Research is proposed. A motion comes back for you to accept, edit, or set aside. The original machine text is kept when you edit it.

Cited to the record

The agents cite every fact they put on the case. A name, a date, a statement, and a draft each point back to the page, the quote, or the moment in the recording. You open the source from the cite.

The hours come out of the file

The charge, the witness list, the chronology, the issues, and the tasks used to be the afternoon. That work is on the case when you open it. The caseload is the same. The hours inside each case are not.

The decision stays yours

You decide what is true, what is charged, and what you will say.

Ask the file

You can ask one recording, or the whole case, in plain language. The answer comes back cited to a moment or a quote you can open.
