Right to Counsel

The right to counsel refers to a fundamental legal principle that ensures individuals have access to legal representation, particularly during criminal proceedings. In the United States, this right is enshrined in the Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution and guarantees that defendants facing criminal charges have the opportunity to be represented by an attorney, either privately retained or provided by the state if they cannot afford one, to protect their rights and ensure a fair trial.
