The High Prosecutor's Office, Room 1202 is a room on the 12th floor of the Prosecutor's Building, and the office housing Miles Edgeworth. Byrne Faraday occupied this office before Edgeworth did, until his death in 2011. The neighboring Room 1203 was the office of former High Prosecutor Jacques Portsman until his arrest.
Design
Edgeworth's office is full of various decorations, furniture and memorabilia. There is a trophy that was awarded to Edgeworth on February 21, 2017. Also in this room is a frame containing the suit that Edgeworth wore in his younger days, as well as other odds and ends that reference other cases he has handled. Like all prosecutor offices, it possesses a secret safe, known about only by prosecutors used to store trial evidence, which is hidden behind the suit's frame.
Trial of Lana Skye

Edgeworth's office in 2017.
During Phoenix Wright's investigation into the murder of Bruce Goodman, Wright made his first ever visit to Edgeworth's office. At first, having no idea who owned the office, Wright made disparaging comments about it to his investigative partner for the case, Ema Skye. Edgeworth provided a great deal of help for the defense attorney, despite technically being the opposition. Edgeworth's half of the SL-9 Incident evidence list, his King of Prosecutor's trophy and a fingerprint dusting set all proved vital in revealing the truth of the case.
Murder of Buddy Faith
- Main article: Turnabout Visitor
On the night of March 14, 2019, Jacques Portsman, working for a Cohdopian smuggling ring, gained access to Room 1202 by tricking the security guard, Maggey Byrde, into opening the door. He then ransacked Edgeworth's files, looking for evidence on the KG-8 Incident before putting the files back in what he believed was the correct order. However, his partner, Detective Buddy Faith, heard the commotion that Portsman was making from Room 1202 and confronted him. A struggle ensued that ended with Portsman shooting Faith through the abdomen and into one of the files. Portsman then wrote "Gumshoe" in Faith's blood on some of the books before escaping to the Criminal Affairs Department.
Later on, Tyrell Badd, a detective who was working to take down the smuggling ring, entered Room 1202 and ransacked Edgeworth's files to find a book containing files from the KG-8 Incident. Meanwhile, Edgeworth entered the office, returning after the frantic events of the previous two days and finding Faith's corpse. As he took in the shocking sight, he realized that he was not alone, and Badd held a gun to the prosecutor's back as he made his escape, leaving the book that he had stolen in the 12th Floor Hallway. Within hours, Edgeworth figured out what the two intruders had done. However, it took until the next day for Edgeworth to find out the whole story about Portsman's involvement in the smuggling ring and Badd's identity, as well as Badd's part in the Yatagarasu vigilante heists.
The next morning, Edgeworth took the opportunity to sit back with a relaxing cup of tea. Unfortunately for him, his break was brutally cut short when Kay Faraday burst in and dragged him into another case.
