Judge Betty Thomas-Moore
Shelby County General Sessions
Civil Court Division V
 The 6th Amendment guarantees a right to
counsel.
 In the past, this meant that a defendant
could hire an attorney.
 Since most criminals are poor, they did not
have counsel.
 In the case of Gideon v. Wainwright (1963).
 In Gideon, a poor man, was accused of a
crime and denied a lawyer.
 The Court ruled unanimously that a lawyer
was a necessity in criminal court, not a
luxury. The state must provide a lawyer to
poor defendants in felony cases.
The Supreme Court has held that no one may be
imprisoned for any level of crime without legal
representation, unless the accused has knowingly
and intelligently waived their right
6th Amendment right to legal counsel occurs at every
critical stage of a criminal proceeding, including
during the investigation, at hearings and during the
trial
A critical stage is any step during a criminal
prosecution where the accused’s rights may be
affected by the absence of legal representation
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the
right of having the assistance of counsel to:
(1963)
“The right of one charged with
crime to counsel may not be
deemed fundamental and
essential to fair trials in some
countries, but it is in ours.”
Development of the
Right to Counsel
 England’s early legal system did not include the
assistance of counsel
 Powell v. Alabama (1932)
Denying legal counsel for a defendant at trial is a denial
of due process
 Gideon v. Wainwright (1963)
Held that not only was the right to counsel absolute, but
also in all serious cases, indigent defendants accused of a
felony were to be provided with legal counsel
Although a person charged with any criminal offense has
the right to retain counsel to represent him/her at a
summary proceeding, most defendants charged with
minor misdemeanors are not represented by counsel.
 A principal reason is the expense of retaining a lawyer,
which may exceed the fine imposed.
 In Scott v. Illinois (1980), the Supreme Court said that
indigent persons do not have a right to counsel at public
expense unless they are actually sentenced to jail.
 The right to counsel is the only 6th Amendment
guarantee that extends beyond the trial
 Everyone has the right to legal representation
 Every lawyer has an obligation to do everything legally
permissible to see that the client’s rights are upheld
 It is to ensure that those accused are afforded their
legal right and that they understand the process in
which they are involved

  • 2. Presented by: Judge Betty Thomas-Moore Shelby County General Sessions Civil Court Division V

  • 5.
  • 6.  The 6th Amendment guarantees a right to counsel.  In the past, this meant that a defendant could hire an attorney.  Since most criminals are poor, they did not have counsel.  In the case of Gideon v. Wainwright (1963).  In Gideon, a poor man, was accused of a crime and denied a lawyer.  The Court ruled unanimously that a lawyer was a necessity in criminal court, not a luxury. The state must provide a lawyer to poor defendants in felony cases.
  • 7. The Supreme Court has held that no one may be imprisoned for any level of crime without legal representation, unless the accused has knowingly and intelligently waived their right 6th Amendment right to legal counsel occurs at every critical stage of a criminal proceeding, including during the investigation, at hearings and during the trial A critical stage is any step during a criminal prosecution where the accused’s rights may be affected by the absence of legal representation

  • 9. In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right of having the assistance of counsel to:
  • 10. (1963) “The right of one charged with crime to counsel may not be deemed fundamental and essential to fair trials in some countries, but it is in ours.”
  • 11. Development of the Right to Counsel  England’s early legal system did not include the assistance of counsel  Powell v. Alabama (1932) Denying legal counsel for a defendant at trial is a denial of due process  Gideon v. Wainwright (1963) Held that not only was the right to counsel absolute, but also in all serious cases, indigent defendants accused of a felony were to be provided with legal counsel

  • 14. Although a person charged with any criminal offense has the right to retain counsel to represent him/her at a summary proceeding, most defendants charged with minor misdemeanors are not represented by counsel.  A principal reason is the expense of retaining a lawyer, which may exceed the fine imposed.  In Scott v. Illinois (1980), the Supreme Court said that indigent persons do not have a right to counsel at public expense unless they are actually sentenced to jail.
  • 15.  The right to counsel is the only 6th Amendment guarantee that extends beyond the trial  Everyone has the right to legal representation  Every lawyer has an obligation to do everything legally permissible to see that the client’s rights are upheld  It is to ensure that those accused are afforded their legal right and that they understand the process in which they are involved
