A prosecutor, or prosecuting attorney, was a legal expert who served as one of two attorneys who argued the sides of a case in a court of law. The prosecutor went against the defender in trying to get a ruling against the subject in question.
Commander Benjamin Sisko mentioned that the hearing of Jadzia Dax aboard Deep Space 9 in 2369 was not a trial and that Ilon Tandro was not the prosecutor. (DS9: "Dax")
