In Cardassian law, a conservator was a Cardassian occupation, vaguely similar to a public defender. As opposed to their Human counterpart, Conservators were not supposed to win a case. Rather, the role was to prepare the accused for a moving confession of guilt on the floor of the court. In the exceedingly rare event that a Conservator actually won and the court were to find their client innocent, it actually had the power to ruin their career. (DS9: "Tribunal")

Kovat was one of most popular and widely known conservators in the Cardassian Union in the 2360s and 70s. In 2370, he won a case, 'representing' Miles O'Brien in a charge of supplying arms to the Maquis. Unfortunately, he was only a year away from retirement. (DS9: "Tribunal")
