The National Survey of Prosecutors is a biennial survey of
chief prosecutors in state court systems. A chief prosecutor is an
official, usually locally elected and typically with the title of
district attorney or county attorney, who is in charge of a
prosecutorial district made up of one or more counties, and who
conducts or supervises the prosecution of felony cases in a state
court system. Prosecutors in courts of limited jurisdiction, such as
municipal prosecutors, were not included in the survey. The survey's
purpose was to obtain detailed descriptive information on prosecutors'
offices, as well as information on their policies and practices. The
data collection instrument was based on questions that were included
in the NATIONAL PROSECUTORS SURVEY, 1994 (ICPSR 6785), and also added
queries on topics of current concern. Variables cover staffing,
