The Vietnamese word "chưởng lý" refers to a specific legal position, typically translated as "attorney general" or "public prosecutor" in English. This is an important role in the legal system of Vietnam, responsible for overseeing the prosecution of criminal cases and ensuring that justice is served.
In more advanced contexts, you might encounter phrases that elaborate on the role of "chưởng lý," such as: - "Chưởng lý nhà nước" which means "State Attorney General," indicating a higher level of authority within the legal system. - "Chưởng lý công tố" meaning "public prosecutor," focusing on the prosecution aspect of the role.
While "chưởng lý" primarily refers to an attorney general or public prosecutor, it can also be used in broader contexts related to legal oversight and authority, but these uses are less common.
Some synonyms for "chưởng lý" in Vietnamese might include: - Công tố viên: Public prosecutor. - Bộ trưởng tư pháp: Minister of Justice (though this is a higher position).
