Both the defense attorney and the prosecutors play a significant role in the adjudication process. It is the duty of the prosecutor to show the guilty of the defendant whereas the defense lawyer’s responsibility is to prove the innocence of the defendant. The other differences lie in their job roles, employment conditions and rules, salary structure, and education requirements.
