A district attorney (D.A.) is, in some U.S. jurisdictions, the title of the local public official who represents the government in the prosecution of criminals. The district attorney is the highest officeholder in the jurisdiction's legal department and supervises a staff of assistant district attorneys. Similar functions are carried out at the local level in other jurisdictions by officers named the Commonwealth's Attorney, State's Attorney, County Attorney, or County Prosecutor. Depending on the system in place in the particular state or county, district attorneys may be appointed by the chief executive of the region or elected by the people.

Attorney General, on the other hand, is the lawyer of the state and is charged by the State Constitution to defend the laws and the Constitution of the State, represent the State in litigation and
approve public bond issues.

Both must be graduates of law and the salaries depends on the level of the district and state.
