DEPARTMENTS The State's Attorney usually divides his or her services into several departments that handle different spheres of law. Each department is staffed by several duly appointed and sworn Assistant State's Attorneys (also known as Deputy State's Attorneys in some states). The departments of a large State's Attorney's Office may include but are not limited to: Felony , Misdemeanor , Domestic Violence , traffic, juvenile, charging (or case filing), drug prosecution, forfeitures, civil, child advocacy, victim assistance, appeals, career criminal prosecution, homicide, investigations, Organized Crime /gang, and administration. APPEALS Depending on state law, Appeal s are moved to appellate courts (also called appeals courts, courts of appeals, superior courts, or supreme courts in some states). During the appeals process State's Attorneys, in many cases, hands all relative prosecutorial materials to an appellate prosecutor who in turn will represent the state in appellate court with the advice and consent of the State's Attorney.
