A procurator is a legal representative originating from the Latin term "procurator", meaning someone who takes care of someone else's business. Historically used to designate individuals who act on behalf of others, the term has evolved to cover various legal and administrative functions. In civil law^[2]The attorneys represent parties in legal proceedings through powers of attorney. In public administration^[1]Public prosecutors are lawyers who represent government entities in judicial and extrajudicial matters, often organised into specific careers. Public prosecutors defend corporate interests and promote criminal proceedings. In addition, prosecutors in Audit Courts oversee the proper use of public funds and exercise external control of government entities. The role combines representing legal interests, protecting public welfare and ensuring administrative accountability in different jurisdictions.

Terms definitions

1. ↑ public administration. Public administration is the management of the state through legislative, regulatory and service-orientated agencies. Originating in the late 18th century in France, it has evolved through various models in Europe and globally, including Nordic, Anglo-Saxon, Rhenish/Continental and Mediterranean approaches. Each model varies in the status of civil servants, political interference and employment systems. In Brazil, public administration has progressed through three distinct phases: patrimonial, bureaucratic and managerial, moving from nepotism towards efficiency and professionalisation. Key components include tax administration, regulatory agencies and direct and indirect administrative structures. These systems are responsible for implementing public policies, regulating economic activities and providing essential services. Regulatory agencies play a crucial role in overseeing public service concessions and permits, ensuring accountability and effectiveness in governance, while maintaining a balance between state control and operational autonomy.

2. ↑ civil law. Civil law is a comprehensive legal system that governs private relations in various jurisdictions. Originating from Roman law (Ius Civile), it encompasses principles of ethics, sociability and operability. The system influences multiple legal traditions, including Brazilian civil law, which has undergone significant transformations through historical codifications. The Brazilian Civil Code, established in 2002 (Law No. 10.406), replaced previous legal structures and introduced progressive changes such as reducing the age of civil majority to 18, allowing parental emancipation from the age of 16 and guaranteeing equal rights for artificial and natural children. Its structure includes a General Part, a Special Part and a Complementary Part, addressing various legal domains. The code reflects evolving social norms by promoting gender equality and adapting legal definitions to contemporary social contexts, demonstrating the dynamic nature of civil law in regulating citizens' interactions and rights.

ProsecutorIn a general sense, it is any person who represents another in some business, with the written authorisation of the represented person.

As a public function, the term "Public Prosecutor" has very different meanings in Brazilian law, and it is necessary to clarify whether the reference is to members of the Public Prosecution Service - AGU (especially members of the Federal Prosecution Service), State Prosecutors' Offices and Municipal Prosecutors' Offices - who represent the interests of a public entity, or to members of the Public Prosecution Service. Public Prosecutor's OfficeIt is a public prosecutor who defends the interests of society. The use of the term "prosecutor" to refer to a member of the Public Prosecutor's Office only exists for historical reasons, since before the enactment of the 1988 Constitution, that entity was responsible for the duties that today are carried out by Union lawyers, in the Union, by State and Federal District Prosecutors in the member states and by Municipal Prosecutors in Brazilian cities.
