Public defenders are provided to ensure that individuals who cannot afford private legal representation receive fair legal representation in criminal cases. This is essential for upholding the principle of due process and the right to a fair trial, as guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment in the United States. Public defenders help maintain the integrity of the judicial system by ensuring that all defendants, regardless of economic status, have access to competent legal counsel. Their role is crucial in preventing wrongful convictions and protecting individual rights within the legal framework.
A public defender is a lawyer appointed by the court to represent individuals who cannot afford to hire their own attorney, typically in criminal cases. In contrast, an attorney is a general term for any licensed legal professional who may represent clients in various legal matters, including civil, criminal, corporate, and family law, and they can work in private practice or for organizations. While all public defenders are attorneys, not all attorneys are public defenders.
