Does a defendant have a right to representation by counsel?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Madera v. Board of Education of City of New York, 386 F.2d 778 (2nd Cir. 1967):
The trial court seemed to think that once due process requires a hearing, the right to representation by counsel follows automatically. In support of this conclusion, it cites Powell v. State of Alabama, 287 U.S. 45, 53 S.Ct. 55, 77 L.Ed. 158 (1932).
