if you waive your rights for an attorney, but i dont recommend doing so...
lawyer
If you are representing yourself (pro se) you can but I wouldn't recommend representing yourself in a criminal proceeding. You can always get a court appointed attorney if you cannot afford one. I am assuming it is a criminal proceeding because you have listed your question in the "warrants" category. Not a good idea to represent yourself in this type of situation.
Federal criminal defense lawyers are either appointed by the federal court or hired by the defendant. If a defendant cannot afford an attorney, the federal court will appoint a federal criminal defense lawyer and pay that lawyer in accordance with the Criminal Justice Act and now-a-days from federal defender organizations. A federal criminal defense lawyer hired by the defendant can be selected based on whatever the defendant prefers, though a lawyer with experience in criminal cases on the federal level are typically most sought after.
The job of a Federal criminal defense lawyer is to defend an accused criminal in a court of law. This type of lawyer is appointed to the defendant by the state.
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.
In a criminal law case there are 6 parties involved. These parties include the victim, the defendant or suspect, the defense attorney, the prosecutor, the judge, and the jury.
There is no simple answer to this question.
It depends if the lawyer's client is the plantiff then the opponet is the defendant. If the lawyer's client is the defendant than the opponent is the plantiff.
Mr. Tom's lawyer have decided not to proceed with the case.
No, a lawyer cannot be a witness for his client in a legal proceeding due to the conflict of interest it presents.
The adversarial legal system only works because both sides do their best to advocate their side of the proceeding. The plaintiff in both a civil and a criminal court best serves the public by insuring that all necessary elements of a case are completely and fully proven.
Yes, a lawyer can serve as a witness in a legal proceeding, but there are limitations and ethical considerations that may apply.
