California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Corwin v. Superior Court of Orange Cnty., G055070 (Cal. App. 2018):
(1963) 372 U.S. 335, 342-343.) When the state provides criminal defendants with a first appeal as a matter of right, as occurred here, indigent criminal defendants are also entitled to appointed counsel on appeal as a matter of due process and equal protection. (Griffin v. Illinois (1956) 351 U.S. 12, 18-19; In re Reno (2012) 55 Cal.4th 428, 488 [defendant is entitled to the effective assistance of counsel on appeal].)
