Person ● Covered in 1 story + Follow ✴ AI Graph Request update Wikipedia
A public defender is a lawyer appointed to represent people who cannot reasonably afford to hire counsel for a trial. In the United States, public defenders are employed by or under contract with county, state, or federal governments, and their role is tied to the Sixth Amendment requirement that indigent defendants in criminal cases receive legal counsel. Several countries provide public defenders, including the UK, Belgium, Hungary, Singapore, and some Australian states, while Brazil constitutionally provides government-paid lawyers for full legal assistance and representation to people in need.
