Prosecutors. Cote is the judge, Bromwich is the monitor appointed by Cote. While Bromwich has been a prosecutor and a special investigator in the past, he is not working as a prosecutor in this case (though Apple says he's acting like one). The prosecutor is the one who brought the original case. No matter what happens with the Apple case, he will be able to cout coup on the book publishers. He's already brought in millions of dollars in settlements into the government coffers, which is generally the point of such exercises.
