What is it called When a person accused of a felony will be appointed an attorney and will enter a plea?
Usa1baby
In this state you would go before the judge for an arraignment. You would consult with the judge concerning an attorney before you would be allowed to enter a plea. You would be not allowed to enter a guilty plea until you had either consulted with an attorney or waived your right to consult with an attorney. You would be informed that the state would appoint you an attorney if you can not afford one. (They do not inform you he will be just out of law school and not have any idea what he is doing.)

What is the US Supreme Court case Argersinger v Hamlin about?
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.
What supreme court case established rights to due process?
Found two... they seem pretty famous.. the first was actually turned into a move featuring Henry Fonda as Gideon.. (Gideon's Trumpet -1980 TV Movie - Very good Movie by the way) ; 1963: Gideon v. Wainwrightguaranteed a defendant's right to legal counsel. The Supreme Court overturned the Florida felony conviction of Clarence Earl Gideon, who had defended himself after having been denied a request for free counsel. The Court held that the state's failure to provide counsel for a defendant charged with a felony violated the Fourteenth Amendment's due process clause. Gideon was given another trial, and with a court-appointed lawyer defending him, he was acquitted. ; 1966 : Miranda v.Arizona was another case that helped define the due process clause of the 14th Amendment. At the center of the case was Ernesto Miranda, who had confessed to a crime during police questioning without knowing he had a right to have an attorney present. Based on his confession, Miranda was convicted. The Supreme Court overturned the conviction, ruling that criminal suspects must be warned of their rights before they are questioned by police. These rights are: the right to remain silent, to have an attorney present, and, if the suspect cannot afford an attorney, to have one appointed by the state. The police must also warn suspects that any statements they make can be used against them in court. Miranda was retried without the confession and convicted.

Whether or not to hire an attorney is a question that only you can answer. You'll need to consider your financial situation, whether you qualify for appointed counsel, what kind of defense you would like to raise and how you hope to resolve your case.
