===Prosecution and defense of criminal suspects===
In many civil law countries, [[prosecutor]]s are trained and employed as part of the judiciary. They are law-trained jurists, but may not necessarily be lawyers in the sense that the word is used in the common law world.<ref>Hazard, 34–35; Huyse, 227; Merryman, 105, and Schuyt, 201.</ref> In common law countries, prosecutors are usually lawyers holding regular licenses who work for the government office that files criminal charges against suspects. [[Criminal defense lawyer]]s specialize in the defense of those charged with any crimes.<ref>Larry J. Siegel and Joseph J. Senna, ''Introduction to Criminal Justice'', 10th ed.
