U.S. attorney

A U.S. attorney is a lawyer appointed by the President to represent the federal government in legal cases within a specific district. There is one U.S. attorney for each of the 94 federal judicial districts. They handle criminal prosecutions, civil lawsuits, and appeals involving the federal government, as well as specific legal matters such as immigration and environmental laws. U.S. attorneys work closely with law enforcement and other government agencies to uphold federal laws and ensure justice is served. They play a crucial role in the federal legal system and impact various legal and community issues.
