When to use capital?

Hi Teachers,

I am working on some legal stuff. A small doubt. When we say prosecution calls Mr. X or the defense calls Mr. Y etc., do we capitalize Prosecution and Defense? Or even otherwise, is it good to do that?

Thanks so much in advance.

Capitalize them if they are part of a name; otherwise, don't capitalize them. The prosecutor laughed. I saw Prosecutor Smith in the library.
