Prosecutor
“You can’t handle the truth! . Admittedly, it was actor Jack Nicholson hurling this infamous line at the judge, but it’s still synonymous with real-life prosecutors, the people we charge with discovering and explaining the truth on behalf of the public and the prosecution services, making sure offenders face justice for what they’ve done.

Fun fact
They say Rome wasn’t built in a day... well neither are court cases. And probably the longest case in world history lasted a whopping 246 years! It pitted the tailors of Paris against second-hand clothes dealers. Beginning in 1530, the dispute was finally resolved in 1776 when the tailor corporations were disbanded and, as a result, the trial was abandoned. All that work for nothing! Fortunately, these days, only 8% of proceedings last more than two years.
