What if the defendant do not have a lawyer for a case of violence against women?
That depends on which country we're talking about. In some countries, a lawyer will be assigned to the defendant.
What is antonym of lawyer?
I'll consider this to be a vague question. If I had to rewrite the question, I'd put it this way: "In a court of law if a defendant is represented by his/her lawyer or attorney, then what is the opposite of the defendant's lawyer?" The answer in this case would be the prosecutor, also an attorney/lawyer, but with opposite goals.
Can your lawyer represent your co - defendant in a different case?
Sure, unless there is some other, compelling reason for him not to represent your co-defendant.Added: While the court may rule that your attorney can represent your co-defendant in ANOTHER case, IMHO it is just as likely to rule that it would be a confict-of-interest.
Is it legal for a Defendant Pro Se to contact the Plaintiff's lawyer?

If someone moves to Boston but is on trial in Philadelphia must they report in person for each trial date or can their lawyer stand in for the accused?
That can only be answered by the presiding judge in the case. The defendant's attorney would have to ask the judge's permission for the defendant's absence. As a practical matter, this is likely only to be granted during pre-trial proceedings. For the trial, the defendant is required to be present.
The prosecution's first step in proving its case is the questioning of a witness?
In court the question would be a true statement. Pre-trial however, the first step would be to review law enforcement's evidence against the defendant to determine if they (the prosecutor) can present a prosecutable case to court.
What is a defendants role in a criminal trial?
In the courtroom, the defendant remains quiet and poised and allows their lawyer to do their job. Otherwise, the defendant should do exactly as the lawyer asks. Outside the court, the defendant's job is to convey and explain all the facts related to a case to their lawyer, and not to speak about the matter with anyone else unless the lawyer says so. Also, the defendant must show up to court when they are ordered. Defendants may also act as their own attorneys with the consent of the judge, in which case they have a very big job. This is called pro se representation, and it is on the rise in the US, according to the National Center for State Courts.
If a judge denies a defendant his own lawyer because he is satisfied with his court appointed lawyer is that grounds for an appeal?
The answer to your question, in short, is yes..with one condition. If the judge could demonstrate that the defendant was mentally incompetent, then he/she could intervene and override the defendant's right to choice of counsel, providing it was in the best interest of the defendant to do so. However, I am quite sure that the judge presiding over this case would have had to have made this finding, if indeed there was one, clear to both parties in the case.
