Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A public defender is a lawyer employed by the government to represent those who are charged with a crime and cannot afford an attorney. In some states, public defenders also represent people being involuntarily committed to a mental health facility due to an alleged mental illness. Public defenders are usually paid by the state or the local county prosecuting the person. The federal government also uses public defenders in federal prosecutions. Some jurisdictions in the United States have part-time public defenders, which means they are allowed to also work in a private law practice.
