Got these messages from two (2) new and young lawyers who aspire to be a public prosecutor. 


Lawyer 1 


"Hi fiscal Fred. I'm an avid (silent) follower of your page po. I'm a newly-minted lawyer and it is my goal to be a fiscal someday. Any tips po on how to prepare before applying in the prosecutor's office? And what are the relevant work experiences should I first apply for before I'll be equipped for the Prosecutor's position. Thank you po and more power to your advocacy." 


Lawyer 2 


"Good afternoon po, fiscal. New lawyer din po ako at avid fan po ako ng page ninyo. Nahiling ko po an post ninyo tungkol sa young lawyer na gusto magfiscal. Yun din po ang pangarap ko pero circumstances brought me in corporate practice. Possible po kaya na macredit po yung work experience ko sa corporate kapag nag apply ako sa pagiging fiscal? Salamat po at pasensya na po sa pag direct message ko sa inyo." 


My answer


You first indulge yourself in litigation. You should be able to equip yourself with the rudiments of litigation like how to conduct direct and cross-examination. The art of litigation is something that is taught in law schools. It cannot be acquired overnight.  You have to gain it based on your experience. As a lawyer in litigation, you should be able to know how to present all kinds of witnesses from an eye witness to an expert witness. 


Usually, the shorter route is to apply first as public attorney. After five years, you can now apply as prosecutor. 


In addition, you have to have a good writing ability. Being a prosecutor,  legal writing is a must. One of the important duties of a prosecutor is to resolve cases. You have to conduct preliminary investigation and inquest cases. One must be able to cite the facts of the case and the legal basis, law or jurisprudence, in support of the conclusion. 


Finally, your integrity is also important. You will be exposed to corruption. Litigants or their lawyers will influence either promise of gift or material things. Shun away from this "temptation." You should protect your good name. It is a continuing qualification.
