What is the difference between the California Constitution and the California Assistance of Counsel provisions in criminal cases?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Pope, 152 Cal.Rptr. 732, 23 Cal.3d 412 (Cal. 1979):
12 Both constitutional provisions accord defendants in criminal cases a right to the "assistance of counsel." The California Constitution's right to counsel provision "was adopted to secure to the accused person all the benefits which may flow from the employment of counsel to conduct his defense (citation) . . . ." (People v. Avilez (1948) 86 Cal.App.2d 289, 294, 194 P.2d 829, 833, discussing former Cal.Const., art. I, 13, now art. I, 15.)
