Homework Help: Urgent... I need help please

Posted by Timothy K. on Sunday, September 3, 2006 at 7:50am.

When do you think the prosecutor's office should become involved in a case (pre-arrest or post-arrest)?
Do you think involvement by a prosecutor in the original stages of an investigation is a good idea?
Can a defense attorney ever become involved in a case prior to indictment or arrest?
When does a judge or magistrate's function begin? In addition, briefly discuss the sources of criminal law.
How does constitutional law affect the development of the criminal code?
What are common law crimes as opposed to actions criminalized by statute?

Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "prosecutor function" to get these possible sources:

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
