Advancing Smart Justice
After completing rotations in the County Court and Juvenile Divisions, attorneys are promoted to the Felony Division. There are presently 21 general units in the Felony Division. Each unit practices before one (1) circuit court judge on a daily basis. Within each unit there is a Division Chief (the supervising attorney), as well as âAâ, âBâ and âCâ prosecutors (the âpitâ assistants). Each new incoming felony ASA enters into a unit as a âCâ level prosecutor. With experience, the ASA is promoted to a âBâ level and then an âAâ level prosecutor. With each promotion, the ASA is assigned more difficult and serious cases.
