partial

court-appointed attorney

Comparative law notes

Germany

Court-appointed attorneys are attorneys who are appointed by the state to assist persons during criminal law proceedings. A court-appointed attorney performs various tasks, such as arguing the defense case in court, researching laws and providing legal advice to the defendant. Since this American legal term relates to criminal cases only, it does not quite cover the more extended mandate of the beigeordneter Rechtsanwalt.
