United States Attorneys are also known as federal prosecutors. They represent the United States federal government in United States district courts and in the United States court of appeals.

Ninety-three U.S. Attorneys are stationed throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

One U.S. Attorney is assigned to each of the judicial districts with the exception of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands where a single U.S. Attorney serves both districts.

Each U.S. Attorney is the chief federal law enforcement officer within his or her particular jurisdiction, acting under the guidance of the United States Attorneys' Manual. They supervise district offices of as many as 350 assistant U.S. attorneys, with as many as 350 more support personnel.
