In Argersinger v Hamlin, 407 US 25 (1972) the Court extended the right to court-appointed counsel for any defendant facing jail time, even if the defendant was being charged with a misdemeanor. In previous cases the defendant was only allowed appointed counsel if charged with a felony. This case made sure any defendant facing any loss of liberty had the right to appointed counsel.

In a 9-0 decision in the case Argersinger v. Hamlin, 407 US 25 (1972), the Burger Court expanded the right of court-appointed counsel developed from Gideon v. Wainwright,(1963) to include any defendant facing the possibility of jail or prison time, regardless of the charges against him or her. The Court held any potential deprivation of liberty had to be protected by due process under the Fourteenth Amendment, including the Sixth Amendment right to counsel for those who could not afford it.
