In Denmark there is "fri process" that will ensure a lawyer is provided when really needed and you can't afford it – my guess is that other countries have similar systems.
- iinnPP 4y agoThe problem is that, most of the time, those lawyers are so loaded with cases that they cannot provide you full representation. Ask any US Federal DA or US Federal Public Defender who you know to be honest. Any. It may differ in your country, but it is unlikely.
- dragonwriter 4y ago> Ask any US Federal DA There is no such thing as a “US Federal DA”. I assume you mean a US Attorney. OTOH, US Attorneys and Federal Public Defenders (in the judicial districts that have them, its a district by district decision under the governing law) may not be the most knowledgeablr about this since most cases are tried in state court and the federal indigent defense delivery system is very different from most state systems, both in structural model and caseload.
- madsbuch 4y ago> It may differ in your country, but it is unlikely. It differs in my country, and it is very likely. The US follows an anglo approach to law. No country in the EU follows that – I do understand that it is the easiest to assume that other countries work like you expect, though not very productive.
